GVI offers several volunteer opportunities throughout Nepal including work in schools and orphanages, with ex-street children, and on environmental projects. Nepal is a developing country with a large percentage of its population living below the poverty line. It is a culturally amazing country – the only Hindu kingdom in the world, with Hindu Temples and Buddhist shrines scattered throughout the land. Of the 14 peaks above 8,000 meters in the world, eight are located in Nepal! Join this GVI volunteer program and experience first hand the beauty of the Himalayan mountains and Kathmandu, and participate in outdoor adventures including trekking and white water rafting.
