Nepal Gap Year Volunteering

International Volunteer HQ’s partner organization in Nepal requires gap year volunteers NOW! IVHQ has a wide range of gap year volunteering opportunities available in teaching English, orphanage work, medical elective and remote health post work in both urban and rural Nepal.

LOCATION OF NEPAL GAP YEAR VOLUNTEER PROGRAMS

IVHQ’s program partner in Nepal offers volunteering programs in three main areas within Nepal – Kathmandu, Chitwan and Pokhara. Kathmandu is the capital city of Nepal, and your placement can be within the city itself or in an urban or rural placement just out of the city. Chitwan is about 150km from Kathmandu and in the middle of Terrai, a flat fertile plain that borders India and stretches right across Southern Nepal. Finally, Pokhara, a popular tourist destination renowned for its amazing mountain views is in mid-western Nepal and can be reached by a five hour bus journey.

START AND DURATION OF NEPAL GAP YEAR VOLUNTEER PROGRAMS

Volunteer programs begin on the 1st and 15th of each month. Volunteers can choose to volunteer for periods of one week to five months.

NEPAL GAP YEAR VOLUNTEER REQUIREMENTS

Gap year volunteers must be 18 years or older at the beginning of the program and have at least a high school education. Volunteers participating in the medical elective or remote health post must have appropriate training and certification (to be presented to IVHQ partner staff on arrival in Nepal). Volunteers on the orphanage program, must acquire a police clearance form (character reference) to be able to work on the orphanage program.
