Over het programma

Nepal is a land of ancient history, colorful cultures, natural beauty with spectacular views and people of warm hospitality.  Insight Nepal is an organization which was established with a view to introduce Nepal's diverse geographical and cultural environment, and also to promote understanding of cultural differences through volunteer tourism.

Insight Nepal believes that serving others is one of the most worthwhile human endeavors. The main objective of the program is to provide opportunities to those who are interested in gaining a cultural experience by contributing their time and skills to benefit community service groups. The second objective is to help those who are looking for an opportunity to reach people in the community groups who are in need of their skills.

There are mainly three primary phases during the course of the program.  In each phase, the participants will have different activities and experiences designed to make the most of their time in Nepal.

a.       Orientation phase: In this phase,  participants will be given a brief orientation about the schedule of the program, health care, and some cultural clues. City tours will be arranged and basic communication skills in spoken Nepali will be given. Thus, this will be a  preparation phase for the participants to move into their placement sites as all these activities and experiences will help them build self-confidence and develop cultural understanding.

b.      Placement phase: During this phase, the participants will work at their placement site according to their interests and the needs of the host organization. The participants will be under the guidance and supervision of the host organization. Since they will be working and interacting with different people in a new environment, it will be an excellent opportunity to share their ideas and skills.  This phase can be as frustrating as it is rewarding but it will be a personal experience that is unforgettable.

c.       Extra activities phase: A 5 days trekking excursion, Jungle Safari and a 3 days Buddhist meditation course with an extra cost can be arranged.

Volunteering Nepal for community support is one of the main projects of Insight Nepal. We organize placement for volunteers who are interested to provide support for the local community service groups such as 'Special needs and disabilities', 'Daycare for children and adult', and NGO management. There are several projects and NGOs in the Pokhara region which are in need trained and experienced volunteers.   Prospective volunteers should be flexible, physically fit, and willing to immerse themselves in another culture.
