Volunteering and tourism are complementary activities that can enhance each other. By volunteering in Nepal, you can gain a deeper understanding of the local culture and contribute to a meaningful cause. You can also develop personal and professional skills and create lasting memories and friendships. Tourism in Nepal, on the other hand, can allow you to explore the country’s stunning natural beauty, historical landmarks, and cultural heritage. It can also provide opportunities to learn about local traditions, taste traditional food, and shop for souvenirs.
Yes, it is possible to extend your volunteer program with us if you want to stay longer. We are flexible and can accommodate volunteers who want to extend their stay. However, it’s important to communicate your intentions to the organization as early as possible so that we can make the necessary arrangements and ensure that the extension is possible.
If you want to extend your volunteer program, you will need to discuss the options with the organization and agree on the duration and scope of the extension. You may also need to pay additional fees to cover the extended period, and you may need to obtain a new visa or extend your existing visa. We can provide guidance on the visa requirements and can help you with the application process.
You can apply to volunteer in Nepal with our organization by filling out an online application form and submitting it along with a resume and a letter of motivation.
