Why Adventure Volunteer Program?

What are Volunteer travel programs?

Nepal is home to eight of the ten tallest mountains in the world. Regarding volunteer travel programs, since Nepal’s borders were opened in 1949, this small, landlocked country has become the ultimate destination for trekking and volunteering for the adventurous global population. But the mountains are not the only draws: explore the temples and stupas, for Nepal, hosts some of the most important Buddhist pilgrimage sites in the world. Explore the great rivers by kayak or raft in the largest flowing rivers of Nepal. Fly above Everest and the Annapurna or enjoy the magnificent Himalayas from Nagarkot. Paragliding in Pokhara and jungle safari in Chitwan is one of the most popular tourist destinations. Soak in breathtaking views and experience the world’s longest zipline which is also the steepest and the fastest adventure experience.

What are volunteer travel opportunities?

Along with varied topography, mountain biking is yet another adventure sport. It provides an environmentally healthy way to discover outstanding scenery and exciting cultural heritages. Riding on the rocky paths of the seldom visited rural communities, you will observe joyful faces living humble lives in harmony. Likewise, you can experience the thrill of bungee jumping over the 160m high bridge of Bhote Koshi, originating from the Himalayas and one of the world’s wildest raging rivers. Nepal offers further exciting events such as bird watching, fishing, horse riding, cannon, mountain expeditions, snowboarding, rock climbing, peak climbing, and honey hunting.

What does it feel like to travel and volunteer in Nepal?

Nepal has been classified as one of the very popular top 10 destinations for adventurers all around the world. Year after year, volunteers and trekkers come here to give their time and experience all that Nepal has to offer. Adventure volunteer travel voluntourism is one of the rapidly expanding but least understood practices of international tourism in Nepal offering abundant outdoor thrills. Economically, Nepal is one of the poorest countries in the world and yet one of the richest in landscape, wildlife, and culture. However, the role of adventure voluntourism in the economic progress of remote places, and its effect on local community, finance, and environment are not entirely determined.

What are the best organizations to go through if you want to travel abroad?

Dig out the answer to why volunteer with VIN. Adventure volunteering brings numerous positive influences on Nepal’s economy, ethnic inhabitants, tourism business, and conservation improvement. With its stable progress, adventure voluntourism in Nepal plays a vital role in national and local development. At VIN, we recognize that your time is precious and while you want to give it to help develop Nepal, you also do not want to miss out on the chance to explore. In response, we have designed the Adventure Volunteer travel Programs, allowing you to volunteer, explore, and trek safely in the knowledge that the staff at VIN have carefully arranged the details.

VIN was an incredible experience. VIN provided a well-structured program with meaningful community engagement. The organization’s focus on sustainability ensured that our contributions had a lasting impact. We also appreciated the chance to coach sports and organize a winter camp, which made learning fun and interactive for the students. Also I was able to work on some meaningful activities such as women empowerment and human trafficking awareness. For anyone looking to make a real difference while growing personally and professionally, VIN is an excellent choice. Highly recommended!
