Nepal remains one of the least developed countries in the world. You can help out with volunteer projects, from caring for Nepalese orphans to teaching English in primary schools. We also have an unusual placement teaching English in Buddhist monasteries. Live with over 400 resident monks, while you teach English and learn Buddhist philosophy.

The mountain kingdom of Nepal features on many Asian travel itineraries… and it’s easy to see why. Perched amidst the snow-capped peaks of the High Himalaya, hidden valleys, spectacular landscapes and a rich cultural heritage await the adventurous traveller. The opportunities for trekking and climbing are many and varied: the world famous Annapurna Trail, being a particular favourite.

A place of strong spiritual belief, and despite a turbulent recent past, an overwhelmingly accepting and friendly atmosphere, Nepal offers an interesting contrast to the more hectic pace of life in its southern neighbour, India.
