🏠 Accommodation on site

During your stay, you will be welcomed into the home of a local host family. This immersive experience is a fantastic opportunity to discover the authentic daily life and rich culture of Nepal. Accommodation is simple but comfortable, providing a safe and welcoming environment. You will have a private room or share with another volunteer of the same gender. This homestay arrangement is central to the cultural exchange, allowing for genuine connections and a deeper understanding of Nepali traditions.

🍲 Food

Your host family will prepare three traditional Nepali meals a day (breakfast, lunch, and dinner). The staple dish is *dal bhat* (rice with lentil soup), typically served with vegetable curries (*tarkari*) and pickles (*achar*). You will also have the chance to taste other local specialities like *momos* (dumplings) and *chowmein* (stir-fried noodles). This is an excellent way to explore the local cuisine. Please note that most families are vegetarian; as cows are considered sacred in the predominantly Hindu culture, beef is not consumed.

📍 About the location

Projects are located in various settings, including the vibrant capital city of Kathmandu, the lakeside city of Pokhara (the gateway to the Annapurna mountain range), and the Terai plains of Chitwan, famous for its national park. Some placements may be in more remote rural villages, offering a unique glimpse into traditional Nepali life away from the main tourist hubs. The exact location will be determined based on local needs and the volunteer's profile.
