NAMASTE!
A trekkers' paradise, Nepal combines Himalayan views, golden temples, charming hill villages and jungle wildlife. Come alive on a spiritual journey inside this vibrant culture. Most famous for Mt. Everest, but brimming with hundreds of other remarkable sites, Nepal will capture your heart and soul with its generous people and customs. Nepalis are known for cooking hearty, flavourful meals and for greeting others with the traditional “Namaste.” In Nepal, volunteers are sought as teaching assistants at local schools or to work with the most vulnerable people in a nearby rural community.
