BANEPA

Volunteer project: The project activities take place around Banepa - a beautiful town at 1500m altitude, surrounded by the green hills and panoramic views of the Himalayan range, just an hour bus ride from Kathmandu. Nature is all around and the air here is far better than in the bustling capital. Still Banepa offers amenities like restaurants with Wi-Fi, pharmacies, grocery stores and to top it all off, a beautiful old town. From here, field trips to a variety of places are possible, for example ancient Hindu temples, various trekking opportunities and all the sights of the Kathmandu valley are not far away.In this project, we are helping the forest community and the Senagal village of Kavre district nearby Banepa. After the earthquake, a lot of buildings were destroyed, and the local population needs help in rebuilding the village. We ll be assisting in developing effective agricultural methods; we will do environmental awareness and forest conservation work; we ll work together with local people to build a multi-purpose community house that can be used for various activities or for shelter in case of emergency.
