Cultural Immersion and Volunteering Tour

Pokalde Adventure organizes a volunteering tour for enthusiastic travelers who wish to learn Nepali cultural traits and contribute during their travels. We offer cultural immersion, community service, community school teaching, and an agro volunteering tour. We have a small initiative of volunteering during our tour program. Every year, we organize educational tours to different parts of the country, and we design community work and interactive learning. The volunteering tour is normally designed for 15 days, with the tour and volunteering organized separately. 

Nepal is a multi-cultural, multilingual country with a diverse socio-economic structure. Nepal is ideal for research and educational tours too. In different regions, we have several communities and their cultural traits too. We organize a short hiking trip including a heritage and jungle safari tour. The cultural and natural amphitheater will broaden students’ knowledge of our rural communities and their traditions, occupations, attire, dietary habits, and many other hidden aspects of society.  The first week is dedicated to the adventure and cultural tour in Nepal. The orientation and volunteering placement are done after the tour completes. Volunteering will take place at a community school, an orphanage, and a disability support center. We will place enthusiastic volunteers based on their interests and priorities.
