Description

Gap Year Volunteering in Nepal

Volunteer World Nepal offers a remarkable insight into a land of beautiful mountains, ancient traditions and secrets of enlightenment. For the real explorer Nepal is the perfect gap year destination, with its spectacular Himalayan peaks alluring adventurers for centuries! As a gap year volunteer in Nepal, you will contribute to long-term projects in Nepal which focus on creating opportunities for the next generation.

Volunteer World Nepal warmly welcomes you to spend your Gap Year in Nepal with us. Our gap year in Nepal programs offers a unique travelling experience for anyone who is seeking an ideal gap year program. Nepal is becoming a very famous destination for gap year adventures like trekking, rafting, jungle safari etc. As a gap year traveller, you will have a chance to enjoy these adventure programs as well, while you visit Nepal. If you choose to travel to Nepal with Volunteer World Nepal on your gap year, we have various gap year volunteering travel opportunities where you will have a chance to enjoy amazing cultures and exciting gap year volunteer opportunities in Nepal with Volunteer World Nepal and you will be able to volunteer in Nepal for doing manual work, teaching Buddhist monks, teaching programs, volunteer in a disability centre to work with children and work in various other Community aid Projects in Nepal.

Who says GAP years are just when you leave school?

One of the common misconceptions about volunteering abroad is that you will be in a group of very young people. It is true that many of the large volunteering organizations target the ‘GAP year’ pool of school and university leavers. However, at Volunteer World Nepal we have placed volunteers from the ages of 17 to 76!

Make the most of your time after the kids have left home

We often find that when people retire or their children leave home they are suddenly left with lots of time to spare. This is the ideal time to come to volunteer in Nepal. We find that the varied experiences some of our older volunteers bring with them not only help hugely with their interactions with Nepalis but also allow them to share them with our younger volunteers.

Older volunteers bring valuable life experience

Many of our more senior volunteers bring with them real-world business experience, first-hand child care experience, teaching expertise and often top medical knowledge as well. In the past, we have also had parents coming with their adult or young families. By all accounts, the bonding of working in a different environment such as Nepal is a memorable bonding experience.

So why not Volunteer in Nepal?

Whether you are a grandparent, have just retired, or want to do something special with your family, you will be warmly welcomed by Volunteer World Nepal. If you would like to speak to some of our older volunteers then you can contact them.
