Nestled between India and China, Nepal is a tiny country that houses the Himalayas, one of the highest mountain ranges in the world. The breathtaking scenic beauty of the country along with its warm and hospitable inhabitants makes for a truly remarkable tourist destination.

For those who are more inclined towards social work, the developing economy of the country offers a great opportunity for setting up volunteer camps and programmes. There are several organisations that provide a person the opportunity of being a volunteer in Nepal without having to worry about the minor details like lodging, food, etc. Once a person signs up for any volunteer programme with these organizations, they take care of everything.

Types of volunteering programs available in Nepal

When in Nepal, you cannot resist taking photos of this beautiful country. What better way of capturing the essence of the place while doing volunteer work than to join a photojournalism camp? Such projects offer a unique opportunity for rookie photographers to hone their skills and gain experience while savouring this amazing country. One can create a visual archive of the mixture of two religions- Hinduism and Buddhism, local markets, the daily life of the Nepalese people and their fascinating culture. The best part about the project is that the volunteer is assigned to a professional photographer who provides guidance to them. You can also partake as an intern and submit a final report at the end.
