Host families are carefully selected and trained by the volunteer organization, ensuring that they are equipped to provide a welcoming and supportive environment for volunteers.
Do not expect luxury on your stay in Nepal. While the exact accommodations may vary depending on the family, volunteers can typically expect a private room but you may also have to share a room with other volunteers working in the same area with basic furnishings, including a bed and storage space for clothes and personal belongings.
One of the key aspects of the host family experience is the provision of adequate toilet and washing facilities. While the exact facilities provided may vary depending on the family, volunteers can typically expect access to a basic toilet and shower. While the facilities may not be as luxurious as what one might be accustomed to in their home country, they are clean and functional, and the host family will make sure that volunteers are comfortable and have everything they need.
Many of the host families have children. You will enjoy helping them with their English, learning to cook Nepali food and mixing it in with their life. Our host families can also cook vegan or vegetarian and can take allergies or diets into account.
Another important aspect of the host family experience is the food. Nepali cuisine is known for its delicious flavors and use of spices, and volunteers will have the opportunity to sample a variety of traditional dishes during their stay. Host families typically provide Two meals a day, including breakfast, and dinner. Meals are typically vegetarian, but may also include meat or fish depending on the family’s preferences and the volunteer’s dietary requirements.
Nepal has made significant strides in improving its electricity infrastructure over the years. In urban areas, people no longer face the same level of electricity problems as they used to. However, it is important to note that electricity can still be somewhat unreliable in rural areas of Nepal. A head-torch is a very useful thing to bring, together with a multi-plug if you have many electrical devices.
