Volunteer in the Kathmandu Valley and experience life in the ancient cultural heart of Nepal. Kathmandu is the vibrant capital city of Nepal. Here modern internet cafes and organic restaurants are nestled between medieval palaces and temples. The area was originally split into 3 separate city-states. The cities of Kathmandu, Lalitpur and Bhaktapur. It is home to 7 UNESCO world heritage sites such as Patan Durbar Square, Swayambhunath Stupa and Pashupatinath Temple. The pace of life in Kathmandu is fast by Nepali standards, with bustling narrow streets filled with rickshaws swerving around tiny shrines and ancient courtyards. It takes a little getting used to when you arrive, but once you’re settled in it’s a hugely rewarding location. Here you will be fully immersed in modern Nepali life.
