Volunteer in Nepal from US$285 — 11 Projects Available

IVHQ was absolutely amazing! The service I received right from the start from Scotia was above and beyond my expectations. She was so thorough and always available to answer my questions. The local team in Nepal were great as well. Friendly, informative and fun. They were always there if I needed anything and gave me all the information I needed to make my 2 weeks in Nepal amazing. IVHQ is a great organization doing amazing things so I highly recommend them. I cannot wait to book my next adventure. Thanks for everything, I loved my volunteer placement, people were so nice and working with the Elephants was so very special for me.

The checklist was extremely helpful. I followed it and felt completely prepared for my trip. The local team were absolutely amazing. So helpful and transparent about what to expect in Nepal. They kept in touch throughout the program and went the extra mile to help everyone. This was a break from the norm and a fully immersive experience in Nepal. New friends and a great learning curve. As a solo traveller I arrived knowing no one and left with so many new friends. I feel I am so much more aware and educated about elephant welfare and want to spread this awareness far and wide. I feel I have a much greater understanding of elephants and how they should be treated. If you are hesitant - just do it! You ask yourself, "What if I fall?" and I say, "Oh my darling, but what if you fly?!" - Erin Hanson

Best experience of my life. We were able to be very hands-on and it was very informative. I couldn't ask for a better experience. We were very involved, it was very inclusive, and we not only felt like we were making a difference, we all left eager to do more to help elephants and the Nepal Elephant Care Sanctuary specifically. I gained confidence, friendships, knowledge...and an incredibly valuable life experience. I will assure anyone who might be hesitant that IVHQ will be very responsive to any questions and concerns they might have, and that the experience will provide them with lifelong memories and an enriching cultural experience in which they will be able to connect with local people in a way that you can't in typical travel experiences.
