“Be of service. Whether you make yourself available to a friend or co-worker, or you make time every month to do volunteer work, there is nothing that harvests more of a feeling of empowerment than being of service to someone in need” –Gillian Anderson
Volunteering is an act of kindness that is recommended especially for children and youth to instill in them the value of humanity from an early age. Be it ecological, educational, and medical or providing community services, we customize this program for people who are interested in cultural exchange, community development, trips to remote areas and simply lending a helping hand.
Apart from volunteering and community services in the beautiful Nagarkot hills, you get to indulge in sheer escapism from the hustle and bustle of the urban town with the amazing sight of sun setting behind the beautiful mountain ranges and glittering view of the Kathmandu city.
Upon arrival you will be met by our representative at the airport and transferred to the hotel.
