Highlights: Rustic Volunteer and Travels offers a variety of volunteer projects and travel packages in Nepal. You can customize or upgrade this travel itinerary to meet your specific interests. Please contact our travel advisor for more details.

Projects are available in Kathmandu (capital city of Nepal with places of great tourist attractions like Thamel, Patan, Swaymbhu, etc.) and Chitwan (Royal Bengal Tiger and the Great One Horned Rhino Mt Everest) , with shops, banks & internet cafes nearby. Nepal is renowned for its spectacular landscape and deep, exotic culture. It's full of contrasts: from traditional culture and history of houses made up of a tight bamboo framework with mud and cow-dung walls to modern urban infrastructure and much of the amenities you would expect from a city.

Volunteers can organize different possible excursions during and after the project to visit places of interest. There is a tourist infrastructure already in place the volunteer can use during weekends. For example: hiking, biking, palaces, art, temples, mountains, national parks, restaurants, hotels, clubs and many more.
