About Program

Volunteer in Nepal with Plan My Gap Year (PMGY), an award-winning international organisation offering safe, trusted, and affordable programs. With opportunities spanning vibrant Kathmandu, tranquil Pokhara, and the lush jungles of Chitwan, PMGY provides a variety of impactful programs, including Teaching and Teaching to Monks, opportunities.

Our volunteer in Nepal programs begin on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of every month, running year-round with flexible durations from 2 to 20 weeks. Volunteers are welcomed into a comfortable host family, where they enjoy three nutritious meals a day. With comprehensive pre-departure support, airport pick-up and drop-off, and engaging in-country orientation, PMGY ensures a smooth and enriching experience.

Impact 🌎

Plan My Gap Year is committed to providing ethical volunteer opportunities that truly benefit the local communities. We have personally vetted all of our Volunteer Programs in every destination. We support a small network of Volunteer Programs abroad that we have specifically chosen due to their efforts being sustainable for our volunteers and the local communities alike. We work closely with each of our local teams to ensure we are assessing and adapting to ensure quality experiences for all involved.

For this reason, PMGY does not provide volunteer opportunities in orphanages in any of our locations. Research and studies have shown that visiting and volunteering in orphanages has the potential to generate an industry that separates children from their families. In turn, putting children at increased risk of neglect and abuse. Therefore, we do not support these institutions with our volunteer network.

Instead, we focus on offering alternative childcare volunteer opportunities whereby children come to and from the placement setting each day. In other words, our local teams collaborate with childcare projects which do not offer any form of residential care. These are safe, responsible, and vetted projects, where participants continue to provide valued assistance supporting local staff.

Program Highlights

  • Most Affordable – PMGY’s programs are accessible to everyone who wants to make a difference, through low fees and high-impact projects.
  • Best Support – Our international and local teams provide extensive around the clock services to assist you every step of your PMGY adventure.
  • Safety Prioritised – With safety a PMGY number-1 priority, we have taken all necessary precautions to ensure our programs are as safe and structured as possible.
  • Extraordinary Experiences – With PMGY, you have the opportunity to truly immerse yourself in amazing cultural and travel experiences, ensuring you leave with unforgettable memories.
  • Friendships for Life – Your PMGY experience not only opens up a doorway for new experiences and exciting memories, but also life-long friendships when meeting new people from around the world.

Had a wonderful time in Nepal

I had a wonderful trip to Nepal last March, I will never forget it! Everything was perfectly organised, I felt safe and supported at all times. I travelled solo as a career break and met many wonderful people also, with whom I'm still in contact with. This was my first trip to Asia, the culture shock hit me at first and I wanted to go back home after the first couple of days but I stayed and when the time came, I didn't want to leave! I absolutely fell in love with Nepalese culture and people. I want to go back and thinking of my next trip already! Thank you for giving me this opportunity to visit such beautiful country and people.
