It is likely that you may wish to spend more time in Kathmandu pre and post placement period, perhaps to experience trekking and sightseeing etc., please remember to budget accordingly! Although Hands-with-Hands can assist you to organise additional activities, the cost of additional activities will not be covered by your volunteer fees. Additionally, volunteers are responsible for any incidentals (extra food, laundry, sodas, emails etc.) incurred during training and placement.

We also provide help organizing trekking, rafting and jungle safaris - and for volunteers some of these activities are offered at a special discounted price. Where possible we will recommend local guides from our different placements to ensure they are given the opportunity to earn money and you are given value for money. This supports you to have a rich and rewarding 'local' experience.
