Travel and Volunteer Package

Welcome to visit the beautiful landscape of Nepal and experience the magic of the Himalayas. It is a country of depth and diversity in culture, spirit, and geographical from the wildlife of Chitwan National Park to Mt. Everest, the highest mountain on the planet. The culture and religious diversity gives you the unique feel of Nepal, where the people of many regions are mixed with Indian and Tibetan influences. To visit the sheer grandness of a country that lies within the jungle of the Terai and the highest of the Himalayas is indeed one of the natural wonders of the world.
Inside-Nepal Travel & Volunteer program is a wonderful experience for volunteers who wish to explore the beauty of Nepal. By choosing this option volunteers can enjoy both ways. We have developed some very interesting travel and volunteer package within Nepal.

Arrival in Kathmandu volunteers will take part in a rigorous training schedule designed to help you settle into your placement successfully. The aim of the training is to teach you enough Nepali language to communicate with people that speak limited English and learn about cultural differences that determine how you conduct yourself within the host family and within traditional Nepali villages. If the placement with Inside-Nepal involves teaching English, additional classes on teaching English as a foreign language will also be included. The length of the training program is determined by how long you will be in a placement with Inside-Nepal, for volunteers on the short 2 week placements the training period will last for 3 days, for those on longer placements training will last for up to 10 days.
Training
· 2 to 3 hours of basic Nepali language a day.
· Classroom survival tips
· Cultural information / gender issues
· Environmental / societal issues
· Sightseeing in Kathmandu

Nadia Zeaiter (Income- Generating Trainer) AustraliaVolunteer 2008.

I cannot believe the time has come to leave after being here for 5 months. I leave with come incredible memories of land and people. I have love spending my time in two different locations one in a village and the other in a city teaching business skills. I have loved meeting locals learning about the culture and its many festivals but also I have loved learning the beautiful Nepali language.I leave with a heavy heart and look forward to coming back some time in the future.
