Khawalung Monastery

It has been a truly wonderful experience. The staff at RCDP have made every step seamlessly easy. The children at the monastery and other volunteers have made coming to Nepal so enjoyable and I would love to come back. I arrived as a solo traveller, a little nervous but met with Anjana and was made food by didi. I felt welcome as soon as I arrived. Sujan drove me to the monastery and I was met by other volunteers. My conversations with them and my interactions with the children were instantly positive. Although some of the children were shy at first, after a few classes they became more comfortable. If I had more time and money I would extend staying here another week. Everyone is cared for so well at the monastery by each other and I’ve been on many other excursions outside the monastery such a visiting temples or visiting kopang monastery/ the art school.
