Can I volunteer in Nepal for free?
We’re often asked if it’s possible to volunteer in Nepal for free. In order to offer a hassle-free, safe experience, with projects built around long-term and sustainable goals, we charge a fee. These fees cover many of the major costs associated with volunteering overseas, such as:
- Airport transfers
- Accommodation
- Three meals a day
- Transport to and from your placement

To make your dream of volunteering in Nepal come true, you can take advantage of our flexible payment plans. All you need to do is pay a deposit to book your place, and then pay as much or as little as you like in a series of installments. We’re completely flexible, but the full fee does need to be paid in full before you leave for your project.
We also offer advice and support for fundraising, so you can get the funds you need to go on the volunteer adventure of a lifetime! Our staff and alumni are experts on raising funds.

Where we are based in Nepal
You can do volunteer work in Nepal in several different locations, such as Kathmandu or Chitwan.
Kathmandu
Bright and bustling Kathmandu is Nepal’s economic and cultural capital. It has elements of both modern and traditional life, making it a fascinating place to explore. Pay a visit to ancient temples and monasteries, pick up some souvenirs at the local bazaar, or go on a hike to admire the scenery from new heights.
Chitwan
Chitwan is a district located around a six to seven hour drive from the capital Kathmandu. It’s most famous for its national park, the country’s first, which is also a World Heritage Site. Apart from its amazing natural wonders, you can also explore small local villages and picnic along the Narayani River. We encourage you to sample some local cuisine, like “taas”, a spicy fried goat dish.
