I had a fantastic experience volunteering in Nepal through IVHQ, they give you all the information and preparation you need before you start your journey and are there with you all the way through it, they have great people working with them in all these other countries, you’re never short of people to turn to if needed. I learned so much about the Nepalese upturned by getting the chance to stay with a local family. I would highly recommend IVHQ and would definitely use them again if I were to volunteer in the future ☺️

IVHQ made a lifelong dream of mine come true—to work with elephants at sanctuary. The staff had great resources to prepare volunteers for their respective volunteer projects including country specific information. The in-country team also went above and beyond giving a great orientation to the country and making sure we had everything in place to get to our project placements. My conservation project was an amazing experience—blessed once again to have a great organization to work for and comfortable accommodations. I’m hoping to do another project through IVHQ in the future.

Would definitely recommend! I’m 18 and this was my first time solo travelling so it was great that volunteering in Nepal felt safe but still adventurous and exciting and I got to be fully immersed in a new culture. Teaching the women was difficult at times but also rewarding and fun and the women are so endearing and eager to learn. Staying with a local family was great - they were so hospitable and kind and the food was fantastic! A great way to experience the culture while having homely comforts.

I absolutely loved volunteering on the Elephant Conservation project! The accommodation at a local hotel was comfortable and the staff there was very friendly and helpful. The project itself is hard work, but it is very rewarding. Most of the time there is spent cleaning the barn and cutting and planting elephant grass, rice, and sugarcane. It was awesome to be around the elephants every day and to see the direct impact the volunteers make on the two elephants in the sanctuary, as well as some other elephants in the village. The food was delicious and they always made sure you had enough to eat. There are also plenty of places in the village to eat at too. The staff at orientation and at the project were all very accommodating, during and after my volunteering. I would highly recommend this project!

From start to finish, my elephant conservation programme was well organised. From the pre departure information, airport pick up, orientation and transport to the programme, everything was efficient and help was always at hand. Highly recommend IVHQ
The American vet running the elephant sanctuary was very kind, helpful, informative and inclusive so I felt part of the team. The routine was flexible, the hotel manager at Happyland hotel,where volunteers stay, was very kind and helpful and organised safaris for me. Brilliant experience

Nepal is a country I’ve never been to before and is also my first volunteering trip with IVHQ ! So everything is just new to me , it was so nice to meet people from all over the world. The program was well organised, host at the home stay was so friendly and approachable. The only regret was not signing up for a longer duration . I would definitely sign up for another project and friends have been asking me about my experiences, I’ve been sharing with them and my referral code Already !! Truly , my expectations were met and I’m grateful that they made my trip a pleasant and fulfilling one

My experience to volunteer in Nepal was something I wish I could do again and again. It left a great memorable impact of the place, people and the food.

Thanks to the programme coordinator and the guest host that really took care of me when I was there. 1 week was too short yet it last a lifetime of memories.

I went with no expectations as I hate to be disappointed, yet I was in disbelief that I truly gained so much more.

I would certainly recommend more people to go and experience this trip and be amazed with it.

We recently spent some enriching moments with our NGO colleagues, delving deep into impactful projects that align with our core values. The days spent at our home stay were filled with camaraderie, laughter, and shared purpose. The unwavering support we received was paramount in navigating through challenges and making strides in our initiatives. The value of these experiences isn't just in the tasks accomplished, but in the connections made and the mutual growth fostered. Every moment was an affirmation of our dedication to the causes we hold dear.
