We had just 5 days and there was still much to do. We found our volunteering in Fulkharka, much more meaningful and safe in spite of its remoteness. The reasons being the outstanding organization of iTourNepal.com P Ltd. (Nepal) & Ganga Jamuma Youth Club, the beautiful Ganesh Himal Range, and finally a well-defined project and purpose. It was a scenic place with ample opportunities for hiking and trekking in its higher reaches. We are most thankful to these organizations for thorough planning and preparation, resulting in both a safe and enjoyable experience of volunteering in Nepal. Anna & Alex - Spain

Experiential learning during Summer break

The Nepal volunteer tour lets students participate in meaningful real-life experiences that involve learning culture, investigating, experimenting, problem solving and being creative and curious. We involve them in volunteering at school or agriculture for certain hours a day. Traveling is one of the best forms of education for your kids. It allows your kids to expand their knowledge outside of the classroom into real-world experiences.

Here are things to learn while travelling in Nepal during summer break.

  • Learn about spiritual and cultural history, the Himalaya and simple but happy life.
  • Practice writing skills. There are many topics about superstition, culture, economy, traditional agriculture and festivals to write an essay, dissertation or critical analysis.
  • Engage in local activities like cooking, local art and crafts, music, festivals etc.
  • Nepal is also the best place to learn about wildlife and birds. Travel exposes them to how others live their lives compared to their own.
  • Travelling can be the best teacher about the world and what it has to offer.
