Volunteer trekking program
Our volunteer trekking program is a program that combines Nepali culture, trekking and adventure, volunteer work for the good of the locals, and shopping in authentic Nepal, all together in a matter of weeks. Absolute Gurkha aims to deliver the experience of a lifetime to foreigners, and believes that the itinerary put together will successfully integrate the two concepts of working and trekking in the Himalayas.
You as a volunteer will be given a proper orientation on how to handle yourself in Nepal, and then after this, you will be placed with a Nepali family, in a home-stay set up, where you will be able to make visits to the local schools or orphanages and teach English.
After the Volunteering, you will be led on a trekking expedition – Annapurna region, Everest region or Langtang region, depending on your choice & time availability. Finally, before you leave Nepal, you will be given some time to explore the city of Kathmandu, shop around for souvenirs, and enjoy the nightlife of being in Thamel.
Our Aim at Absolute Gurkha
We are dedicated to promoting the most affordable and exciting trekking and volunteering programs in Nepal for the betterment of local communities in need as well as enriching the lives of travellers around the globe. Its unique and innovative ways of operating make it a highly competitive and popular trekking and volunteer placement in Nepal. Absolute Gurkha is well-known to provide a truly satisfying and fulfilling experience for all travellers.
Volunteer work in Nepal is sure to reward one psychologically as well as feed their charitable soul. Getting to know the local cultures and different ways of life that persist across the landscapes of Nepal, while helping with those entities will be an experience like no other. It is no surprise that more and more people are choosing to volunteer in Nepal every year in Nepal. It is a fantastic opportunity to gain a different perspective of the world we live in, through the eyes of the less fortunate, in the realm of social work. We heartily welcome you to join our meaningful volunteer programs in Nepal and change the way you see the world: make a difference.
Through the placement of local and international volunteers in various volunteer programs, we aim to serve as the backbone of the local communities we work in. While we allow our volunteers to integrate themselves into the authentic Nepali culture, we also make sure to keep in mind the safety of the foreigners. Absolute Gurkha’s volunteer and trekking program is a perfect balance between traditional, provided by the home stay with local families, and the modern, provided by the visits to the bustling city of Kathmandu and the energetic nightlife of Thamel.
Our volunteer programs include both short term (1 week) to long term (5 months) options. We however, have highlighted the “Volunteer Opportunity”, a three to five week course, as we find it will be the most practical yet thorough of all travel plans. With the offer of a low cost volunteer program in Nepal, we invite you to join us on our volunteer programs in orphanages, healthcare, environment, teaching English, women empowerment, street children, medicine, orphanages, Tibetan monasteries and much more.
