Community Based Volunteer Placements: an Excellent Opportunity for Cultural Exchange

This program is an incredible way to get the most of a trip to Nepal even if you haven’t got much time on your hands. In this program, you will be placed with a typical Nepali family in a small rural village or within a city for the duration of your stay. You will learn about all aspects of Nepali culture, lifestyle, language, food and people that will certainly be an unforgettable experience. This is also an excellent opportunity for volunteers to immerse themselves in the Nepali community within a supportive environment and share their culture in return.
You should remember that this is a cultural exchange. So, you should try and share some information about your own home culture and customs with your host family. During your home-stay you will be given sufficient language orientation. You can spend the days exploring the local area meeting different of varying ages, interests, occupations.
If you pick a home-stay/cultural exchange package, you will be placed with your host family as soon as you arrive in Nepal.
