Free when combined with our volunteering program
This is a free tour program open to all volunteers. This fantastic opportunity gives each volunteer the chance to experience not only the immense physical beauty of Nepal but also some of the rich variety of cultures on offer. We accompany you to the various destinations on offer, fitting in around the volunteering program. Or if you are feeling independent, you can take the tour by yourself.
To ensure that both tour and volunteering go well, the destinations will never be far from the volunteering placement. Unlike tourists, who have to pay huge entry fees for most tours, as a cherished volunteer you are granted free entry into almost all tour destinations.
