Nepal volunteer with Volunteer Alliance and you’ll get the chance to help some of the country’s neediest orphans. At the Fresh Orphanage Nepal , in Gwarku, Lalitpur, you will get to know the delightful children, help them stay clean, engaged in activities and overall contended. It’s near Patan and a 20-minute drive from here to Kathmandu . The center is overcrowded and needs to expand; the fundraising that volunteers can do will go a long way. Within five years, the orphanage ambitiously hopes to expand from a handful of children to a hundred.

On weekends you can explore the dynamic towns of the Kathmandu Valley , including the temple-filled Durbar Squares of busy Kathmandu , chic Patan or low-key Bhaktapur. Bungamati makes for a nice destination off the tourist trail for its simple traditional Newari charms. Or head for Nagarkot for views of the Himalayas .

Nepal volunteer opportunities with Volunteer Alliance are exclusively dedicated to helping uplift the lives of orphans. One of the centers aided by this NGO is the Child Orphanage Nepal in peaceful section of Maharajgung. The center makes available schooling, accommodation, education and meals for its young residents. Uniquely, beyond serving the physical needs of its children, the orphanage supports their spiritual growth. They are also taught how to be polite.

While on the tourism end of their trips, one particularly popular activity for volunteers is trekking in the majestic foothills of their mighty big brothers, the Himalayas . The most well-trod paths are to Everest Base Camp and near Annapurna . The Kathmandu Valley is studded with Hindu and Buddhist temples. Chitwan National Park in the South’s Terrai is a great place for going on safari and spotting rhinos.

Volunteer Alliance provides many ways in orphanages in which you will be volunteering in Nepal . In the active region of in Gangabu in Kathmandu, the Light Orphanage Nepal does its best to cater to the needs of its children. The assistance of volunteers is greatly appreciated. Before being fortunate enough to land a space here, the children eked out an existence by begging or working in menial jobs. The center houses and cares for only six children; with the kind of fundraising that volunteers can accomplish, the orphanage may be able to enlarge and take in more of the endless ranks of desperate young Nepalis.
