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.

Summer festivals of Nepal

Trek with Shamans in August

Shamans and pilgrims journey to Gosaikunda Lake to partake in the Janai Purnima festival on 19 August 2024. The festivities involve traditional dances, singing, and drumming by the lake, lasting until nightfall. Shamans perform rituals at the Shiva temple and Trishul Dhara, believed to be the source of the lake, while playing the sacred ‘dhryangro’ drum and circumambulating the sacred waters.
