Program Overview

Program Description:

Travel to Nepal's beautiful city of Pokhara and volunteer alongside an international team in a care center or children's home, providing educational and personal development support to children. Visit traditional Hindu and Buddhist temples and embrace your adventurous side with white water rafting or mountain trekking trips in your free time. During this time, you have the chance to explore the area, live with a Nepali family, learn some basic Nepali and visit many of the local sights. Volunteering with GVI not only allows you to participate and make a meaningful impact while assisting disadvantaged communities or endangered ecosystems, but it also offers fantastic opportunities to travel and explore the local area.  

Setting Description:

Our base in Nepal will bring you to a beautiful, culturally diverse region that is one of the poorest in the world. We are located in the ancient city of Pokhara and your time with us will make a crucial difference to Nepal’s development.
