Transferência do aeroporto
Voluntários e estagiários são buscados no Aeroporto Internacional de Tribhuvan, em Katmandu, por um membro da equipe de coordenação local. Os voluntários que já estiverem no Nepal serão recebidos pela equipe em um ponto de encontro previamente combinado.

Alojamento
A casa para voluntários/estagiários no Nepal oferece um ambiente confortável e acolhedor para os participantes durante sua estadia. Está localizada em Bafal, uma área residencial tranquila a apenas 10 minutos de carro de Thamel, o animado coração de Katmandu, conhecido por suas atrações turísticas, lojas e restaurantes. Esta localização oferece o equilíbrio perfeito entre tranquilidade e acessibilidade.

Os voluntários podem desfrutar de refeições caseiras, que lhes proporcionam um gostinho da culinária tradicional nepalesa, garantindo que suas necessidades alimentares sejam atendidas. A casa está equipada com Wi-Fi de alta velocidade, permitindo a conexão perfeita com familiares e amigos ou a gestão de compromissos pessoais ou profissionais. Uma televisão também está disponível para relaxamento e entretenimento durante o tempo livre.

A acomodação inclui todas as comodidades básicas necessárias para uma estadia confortável, como água encanada, água quente durante o inverno, banheiros limpos em estilo ocidental e eletricidade. Os espaços de convivência são aconchegantes e convidativos, proporcionando uma ótima oportunidade para os voluntários relaxarem e se conectarem com outros participantes. A casa é administrada por um coordenador dedicado baseado no Nepal, que garante que todos os aspectos da acomodação sejam bem conservados e que os voluntários tenham suporte para quaisquer dúvidas ou preocupações.

Esta estrutura permite que os voluntários se concentrem em seus projetos e aproveitem a experiência, sentindo-se em casa, em um ambiente acolhedor e bem estruturado. Solicitações de quartos privativos podem ser atendidas em uma pousada próxima por um custo extra.

Orientação
O coordenador local do programa fornecerá orientação e instruções na sua chegada. Dependendo do seu horário de chegada, a orientação poderá ser realizada no mesmo dia ou no dia seguinte. Normalmente, dura cerca de meio dia e aborda tópicos essenciais como cultura local, cumprimentos, locais importantes, opções de transporte e outros detalhes importantes para ajudar você a se instalar e navegar pela região com confiança.

Refeições
Serão fornecidas duas refeições nepalesas (café da manhã e jantar) a todos os voluntários, dependendo da sua agenda de trabalho. O café da manhã normalmente consiste em pão, manteiga, geleia, sanduíche, chá, etc. As refeições típicas incluem Dal (lentilhas), arroz, vegetais, frango e carne, etc. A refeição básica da maioria dos nepaleses é o Dal Bhat, que consiste em sopa de lentilha (dal), arroz (bhat) e vegetais ao curry (tarkari). Se você tiver alguma restrição alimentar especial, pode nos avisar com antecedência e faremos o possível para atendê-la.

Durante seu tempo livre
Nos fins de semana, os participantes de Katmandu costumam aproveitar a localização privilegiada da cidade para explorar a deslumbrante beleza natural e a riqueza cultural do Nepal. Muitos optam por visitar o Parque Nacional de Chitwan, famoso por seus safáris emocionantes e pela vida selvagem, incluindo rinocerontes, elefantes e tigres. Outro destino popular para um fim de semana é a pitoresca cidade de Pokhara, conhecida por seus lagos tranquilos, vistas deslumbrantes do Himalaia e oportunidades para esportes de aventura como parapente e trekking.

Durante as noites da semana, quando o tempo livre é limitado, os voluntários costumam passar um tempo em Thamel, uma área vibrante e movimentada, famosa entre os mochileiros. Thamel oferece uma variedade de cafés, restaurantes, lojas e experiências culturais. Os voluntários também podem explorar a rica história de Katmandu visitando marcos icônicos como a Estupa Swayambhunath (Templo dos Macacos), a Praça Durbar ou o Jardim dos Sonhos, mergulhando na herança e na atmosfera únicas da cidade.

Usually, the projects are within short distance from your accommodations. Some projects are within walking distance while others are a short ride away.

Locals can often quote high prices for souvenirs, try to bargain and you will get a good price. A simple bracelet should not cost you more than 50-100 NC (Nepalese Currency). Food and dining in Nepal are very reasonable. A 10% (flexible) service charge is applicable in dining and lounging areas.
Can I know more about accommodation and food arrangements?: Accommodation is shared on the same gender basis in the home stay/host family which is managed by the VS Nepal in-country coordinator. The accommodations are neat and provide a comfortable stay during your volunteering period in Nepal. The accommodations have running water, electricity and all basic amenities available. Volunteers need to understand that living conditions in Nepal can be different as compared to what you have back at home. You need to be flexible, open minded and adapt to the culture and environment. Living with other like-minded volunteers from around the world is a great experience in itself. Two meals a day are provided to the participants (Breakfast and Dinner).

Would I have free time during my program? Can I do sightseeing during my program?: Typically, volunteers are required to put 5-6 hours every day, 5 days a week. However, work timing is dependent on the project chosen by the volunteers and can vary. You will get free time in the evenings and on the weekends. You can utilize this time to explore the local market streets of Thamel, visit Durbar Square, see evening prayers at the “ghat” of the Pashupatinath Temple and also visit Swayambhu temple. During the weekend, you can visit Chitwan National Park or go visit the famous tourist destination Pokhara.

We encourage our volunteers to travel. We have designed various weekend tours which can be booked under the ‘Add-on Tours’ section in your ‘My Account’. Your in-country coordinator will also help you book and organize the tours once you are in the country.
What should I pack for my trip to Nepal?: We always suggest our volunteers to pack light. Being a country on the lap of the Himalayas, the temperature is usually on the colder side, and we would recommend you to get woolen wears and jackets. Pack comfortable clothes and walk shoes. Nepal is a conservative country with numerous sacred worshipping places where short, tight and revealing clothes wouldn't be allowed.

Volunteers are advised to follow the safety guidelines given in the pre-departure handbook as well as told to you by your coordinator during orientation.
