After restoration of peace, Nepal at present times can be confirmed a much safer destination. The Himalayan Kingdom is formally is a democratic Federal Democratic Republic now, also known as the world’s youngest republic. With the disposal of king and the Maoists already signing a peace agreement, history has been changed in Nepal where the fate of the monarchy is in the hands of the people. Though, you may come across some frequent demonstrations which are common peaceful rallies. At wider perspective, security condition all through the nation has gradually recovered. Nepalese tourism industry also observed record-breaking tourists arrivals from all over the previous tourist season. This in turn has automatically paved the way for a favorable environment and unlocked the boundless possibilities for anyone seeking volunteering opportunities in Nepal. Several regions of Nepal were closed during the people’s war and remained restricted zones for security reason. However such is not the case nowadays, you can travel with free-mind and without any fear or insecurity. Lately, Nepal is all set to uplift it’s status and proceed towards swift development. Every sector is coming forward and eager to join hands for overall growth. Since all government operated programs/agenda can’t be at all places, thus volunteers’ also play a major role and their contributions are highly appreciated in accomplishing this total objective in building the nation.

Safety of our volunteers has always been our first priority; your security is our responsibility. To go on with this assurance, each volunteer will be supplied with their own identity card as well as emergency contact numbers; it will be a good idea to keep all of these at all times. Besides, our official-team will be in contact with you most of the time via mobile-phones.
