Volunteer in Nepal - Lowest Fees & Happy Volunteers Since 1998

My time in Chitwan, Nepal was wonderful.l and I am so glad I went through Rcdp. The experience at the hospital allowed me to see medicine in a different way. The host family was extremely kind and compassionate. The volunteer coordinators made sure everything was set before I arrived and answered any questions I had along the journey. It was very easy to contact the coordinators for help. Transportation was set up and provided. I highly recommend this life changing volunteer program! You will not regret your time abroad!

Superb program if you’re looking to diversify your perspective or dwell into the unknown. The communication with the team is easy and all arrangements will be taken care of. In regards to the actual content of this experience - the quality was also really good, I stayed in Buddhist monastery on the outskirts of Nepal and taught monks aged from 7 - 17, English, Maths and Science. I was given a room and plenty of free time as well as my meals being provided by the monastery. The children were a pleasure to teach and observing the lifestyle was just remarkable.

Yesterday was a very intense day full of activities. Early in the morning, seeing that it was raining heavily, our jungle excursion was canceled, and we proposed a bike ride. What we thought was going to be a simple walk through the town turned out to be an intense tour of the Nepalese landscape in which we found several animals such as elephants, deer, horses, cows, dogs or ducks. In addition, our favorite moment was when we had to cross a puddle that looked like a river as it covered us to the hip (shoutout to the leech that stung Barbara). It lasted longer than many of us could endure and some even got lost but we really enjoyed it. After a well-deserved rest, and seeing that the river still did not go down, a jungle jeep excursion was organized. Before we entered, we were lucky and honored to have been able to attend a wrestling battle live between two 12-year-old children, there were no injuries ... They warned us that silence was needed to see the animals, which It took us a little to respect, that may be the reason why we "only" saw deer, monkeys, birds and crocodiles. At the time of resting we were playing board games like the Resistance or the high pencil in which we discovered new colors such as sapphire, pistachio and persimmon. We ended the day watching a somewhat peculiar local dance that surprised some and disappointed others. And finally, Quique and the Javis woke up for dinner.

We had a lot of fun and the people were amazing. Lovely food and housing as well as comfort and flexibility from the organization. Rita was an amazing host mother and the kids from the orphanage were lovely. The school was very tired but lots of fun.
The local coordinator, Lilah, was extremely helping and assisted us in every single way needed. As well as the general coordinator in Nepal who always answered our questions and helped us in what we needed.

The hostels provided by the organization were always amazing and had great service.
Overall: amazing experience, will definitely repeat in the near future.

Our day began with the usual breakfast scheduled for eight. Despite some usual delays, we managed to reach our destination on time and began our jungle excursion without further delay. After two and a half hours of constant surprises and emotion, walking surrounded by vegetation and some animals, such as deer and the occasional crocodile, we finished our little adventure. Upon returning to the hotel we were waiting for a delicious Nepali delicacy (macaroni and cheese). After a deep nap we venture back into the jungle, but this time on the back of an elephant. However, some colleagues decided not to do this activity, since it was against their moral values. After two hours of constant rocking and the odd scare, we arrived back at the hotel. Once we had dinner, we decided to do some recreational activity to strengthen our links as pineapple. Finally, exhausted because of fatigue, we each turn to his humble abode in order to rub.

Nuestro día empezó con el habitual desayuno programado para las ocho. Pese a algunas tardanzas habituales, conseguimos llegar a nuestro destino a tiempo e iniciamos sin más dilación nuestra excursión por la jungla. Tras dos horas y media de constantes sorpresas y emoción, caminando rodeados de vegetación y algunos animales, como ciervos y algún que otro cocodrilo, finalizamos nuestra pequeña aventura. Al regresar al hotel nos esperaba un delicioso manjar nepalí (macarrones con queso). Tras una profunda siesta nos aventuramos de nuevo en la selva, pero esta vez sobre el lomo de un elefante. Sin embargo, algunos compañeros decidieron no realizar esta actividad, dado que estaba en contra de sus valores morales. Tras dos horas de constante balanceo y algún que otro susto un tanto desagradable, llegamos de vuelta al hotel. Una vez cenados, decidimos realizar alguna actividad lúdica para reforzar nuestros vínculos como piña. Finalmente, exhaustos a causa del cansancio, nos dirigimos cada uno a su humilde morada con tal de sobar.

This travel was really impressive and shoking. The part of the tourism in Katmandú with all the activities were amazing but all the group coincided on the part that the volunteer part was a bit short and we would like to be a bit more time in the town. The first days activities were an adventure. The rafting was very funny and the jungle walk was a bit disappointing because we can’t see a lot of animals but it was also great. The families were also amazing and all were very hospitable, they were always helping you. The work in the garden is very tired but also great. The time we passed with the kids were the best time. They have always a smile in their face and is very funny all the game that we did. The classes were a bit hard, especially if you have the first classes.

Translated by Go Overseas:

We woke up at 6:30 to go to the hotel with all the desires in the world until we arrived at the van where we were waiting for a trip that was very, very long, but it was more enjoyable due to the games we proposed. We were exhausted, we arrived at the rafting that was in Chitwan Bay there they explained how we should put on the lifejacket and the Halmet. We engage in adventure and we all thought we were going to die. We divided into two groups each with two monitors there were parts where there was a lot of waves and we had to continue paddling, Enrique complained a lot because all the waves came to him and he ended up soaked he seemed handsome. At 5 km we made a stop to eat where we ate chicken rice and soup.
We resumed the trip about 10 km more which made us eternal since we had stayed cold when we had stopped to eat. After the rafting adventure we had to change since all our clothes were soaked then we took the van and went to the new hotel where they welcomed us very well. How it is raining heavily we could not do any activity and we had to stay our rooms since it was all flooded. We ended the day having dinner all together in the dining room and went to bed soon as the next day we got up early.

Original Review:

Nos despertamos a las 6:30 para ir al hotel con todas las ganas del mundo hasta que llegamos a la furgoneta donde nos esperaba un viaje muy pero que muy largo pero se hizo mas ameno debido a los juegos que propusimos. Estábamos agotados, llegamos al rafting que estaba en la bahía de Chitwan ahí nos explicaron cómo debemos ponernos el chaleco salvavidas y el Halmet. Nos enzarzamos en la aventura y todos pensamos que íbamos a morir. Nos dividimos en dos grupos cada cual con dos monitores había partes donde había mucho oleaje y teníamos que seguir remando, enrique se quejaba mucho porque todas las olas le llegaban a él y acabó empapado parecía aposta. A los 5 km hicimos una parada para comer donde comimos pollo arroz y sopa.
Retomamos el viaje unos 10 km más lo que se nos hizo eterno ya que nos habíamos quedado fríos cuando habíamos parado a comer. Terminada la aventura con el rafting nos tuvimos que cambiar ya que toda nuestra ropa estaba empapada luego cogimos la furgoneta y fuimos al nuevo hotel dónde nos acogieron muy bien. Cómo está lloviendo a cántaros no pudimos hacer ninguna actividad y nos tuvimos que quedar nuestros cuartos ya que estaba todo inundado. Terminamos el día cenando todos juntos en el comedor y nos fuimos a la cama pronto ya que al día siguiente madrugabamos.
