Global Volunteer Nepal offers immersive gap year experiences that blend meaningful community service with authentic cultural discovery across Nepal.
Participants choose from 13 program areas including teaching, healthcare, wildlife conservation, women's empowerment, and homestay exchanges — all designed around genuine local needs. Our dedicated in-country team in Kathmandu supports you from arrival to departure, handling logistics so you can focus entirely on your experience.
Programs run year-round across five destinations: Kathmandu, Pokhara, Chitwan, Lumbini, and Dolakha. Whether you're volunteering solo, joining as a family, or traveling with a group, we tailor every placement to match your skills and goals. With over 15 years of ethical, responsible travel experience, we connect passionate individuals with projects that create real, lasting impact.
