Volunteer in Chitwan-Madi Jungle Village, Nepal

Live the Nepali village life, surrounded by jungle, farmland, and friendly people.

Located near the India-Nepal border, Chitwan-Madi Jungle Village offers volunteers an unforgettable opportunity to immerse themselves in authentic rural Nepali culture. Hosted by a local Nepalese family, volunteers experience daily life, contribute to local development, and explore the surrounding natural beauty.

What You’ll Experience:

• Cultural Immersion: Live with a Nepali family and experience daily traditions and routines.

• Traditional Farming: Learn and help with rice planting, animal care, and eco-farming techniques.

• Community Engagement: Assist in the local school or share your own skills—such as arts and crafts, cooking, health education, or construction.

• Eco-Tourism: Join jungle walks, picnics, and eco-projects being developed with local families.

• Needs Research: Help identify and report on challenges in the community for future development work.

Optional Excursion: You can also link your stay with a visit to Chitwan National Park—home to rhinos, elephants, and Bengal tigers (separate cost).

Sindhupalchok was one of the hardest-hit regions during Nepal’s 2015 earthquake. Villages like Gunsa are located in the breathtaking Himalayan foothills but struggle with poverty, lack of infrastructure, and limited agricultural resources.

What You’ll Experience:

• Hands-On Building Work: Help with construction projects, like building ceilings, homes, or church structures.

• Daily Village Life:

  • Women Volunteers: Work alongside local women—cooking, child care, field work, and water collection.

  • Men Volunteers: Assist in terraced farming, animal care, and physical labor.

• Skill Sharing: Offer workshops in:

  • Healthy cooking & nutrition

  • Craft-making (knitting, woodworking)

  • Small business ideas

• Community Exploration: Hike to nearby villages, observe challenges, and suggest solutions for long-term development.

Note: This is a remote, rugged area. Travel can be challenging, especially during monsoon. Accommodation is basic, but the cultural exchange and service impact are incredibly rewarding.
