Cultural
Immersion
Cultural (exchange) Immersion programs can be arranged in most areas of
Nepal. Participants will be placed with a Nepali family in a small rural
village or within a city for the duration of their stay. During this
period volunteers will have the opportunity to participate in local
festivals and get the opportunity to exchange their culture.
Volunteers should remember that this is a cultural exchange and that an
effort to offer some knowledge of their own home culture and customs to
the family with whom they stay is expected.

Participants in the program will not go through training in
Nepal with the other volunteers. During their home-stay,
volunteers will attend 2 hours of language lessons in the
morning and in the afternoon. They will also have the
opportunity to visit and help out at the local school.
Nepali culture is distinctively friendly and open and
participants are made to feel as though they are part of the family.
Volunteer also have chance to do
adventure, which includes village visit and hiking, cultural dance,
white water rafting, Annapurna trekking and a visit to Royal Chitwan
National Park and elephant safari.
This program
is a good opportunity for volunteers to learn about the Nepali culture,
lifestyle, language, and people.
