Volunteer Society Nepal (VSN) is a non-government organization, and is always working hard to raise funds, through various activities and fundraisers, and trying to coordinate programs with likeminded organizations. Thus, we charge our volunteers a nominal amount for raising funds needed to carry out all of our projects. But Volunteer Society Nepal (VSN) keeps cost as low as possible, a difficult task in itself. Volunteer Society Nepal (VSN) volunteering programs are absolutely the most affordable in Nepal. The volunteering period can be arranged from 1 week to 5 months and fees starts from € 300.00 and varies depending heavily on the program and the length of stay. Certain programs follow a stricter schedule and include a good deal of traveling, trekking, and other activities. These programs are thus slightly more expensive, in order for Volunteer Society Nepal (VSN) to provide all travel arrangements and accommodations.
