Description: Lightmen Collaborate is a small company working for the last 25 years in the enchanting Himalayan kingdom of Nepal in various fields of volunteering and project work. We operate a small mountain farm/conservation project and a natural retreat/training centre in the foothills of the Himalayas in a very picturesque place which can be used and visited by volunteers, interns, students and for project outings etc. We have our own home stay accommodation in very good places in Kathmandu. We have extensive experience of handling overseas volunteers including research, training, placement and other works. We create and assist on various projects and programmes.
