Tour Overview
Our service learning school trips in Nepal allow students to do volunteering and service in an exciting and truly unique environment. These hands-on experiences are curated to promote their resilience, cultural understanding and personal development.
On our Service Learning trip in Nepal, the students work with established nonprofits, NGOs, and locals on community-driven projects to make meaningful, sustainable contributions. Through hands-on work and deep exposure to different cultures, students learn vital collaboration and problem-solving skills. After one of our school service trips in Nepal, students return inspired to make a difference at home, too.
Nepal makes for an ideal location for service learning trips: home to stunning surroundings, thriving culture and offering a wide range of activities students can enjoy. In this specific example itinerary, students are able to take part in exciting activities such as white water rafting or learning how to cook traditional Nepalese food.
A service learning trip to Nepal can be a rewarding and transformative experience. Nepal is a beautiful country with a rich cultural heritage and stunning natural landscapes, including the Himalayas. However, it is also a developing nation that faces various challenges, providing plenty of opportunities for service work. Organizing a service learning trip for a student group can be a fantastic way to promote experiential learning, cultural understanding, and community engagement.
A Service Learning trip to Nepal can be a transformative experience, combining travel, cultural immersion, and meaningful volunteer work. Nepal, nestled in the heart of the Himalayas, offers a rich cultural heritage, stunning landscapes, and warm hospitality. Whether you're interested in education, community development, environmental conservation, or healthcare, there are various service opportunities available to make a positive impact on local communities.

We love Raj!
I went to Nepal with a team of clinicians and counseling students to provide training and continuing education to a group of social workers and professional counselors working in Nepal with trauma survivors. Raj was incredibly kind and helpful with securing us safe and affordable accommodations and providing us with fun and interesting cultural activities. He organized everything flawlessly and seemingly appeared out of nowhere every time we needed him. He was always early, eager to help, and wonderfully knowledgeable about the area attractions and activities.
When a friend and I stayed for an extra 2 days beyond the rest of our group’s departure, Raj recommended and arranged a trip to Bardia National Park for us. He got us a beautiful room in a wonderful resort which included all meals and 2 jeep safaris. The resort staff were all wonderful and it was clear that Raj had instructed them to treat us well! When we ran into an issue of a misplaced passport on our way home, Raj was on the phone with the embassy and already working to resolve the issue so we could get home. Luckily, we located the passport before we got back to Kathmandu and were able to get home without issue.
I can’t say enough good things about how kind, helpful, and knowledgeable Raj is! I need one of him in every country!

Win Win Win; Let Raj and team coordinate your journey
Personalized and professional: cannot recommend Raj and his team with Getaway Nepal Adventures highly enough. Raj provides tremendous value. He helped us plan a 12-day trip that covered exactly what we wanted to do. From advising about visas and meeting us at the airport, to staying in touch without ever being intrusive, he always made sure we were settled and had all our questions answered; he kept in close contact throughout, and even called our guides a couple times a day. His team of guides and drivers is excellent (shout out to Shyam and Kaaka!), and they’ve worked together for years. Raj was also able to make adjustments and accommodate last-minute changes to our itinerary seamlessly. Accommodations he chose were top-notch. The cooking class was great. Our trekking guide Shyam taught us how to play Tigers and Goats, treated us to special Nepalese treats in Pokhara, took us to special spots, and was always cheerful.
Raj, I think, is the face of new Nepal; he deserves support, and getting him to help you with your trip will make a journey to Nepal much richer. Whether you are planning a major trek into the mountains or a more sedate touring experience, or go on a retreat and then see the Chitwan park, or just want to buy rugs and thangkot art, his company has years of experience and a wide network of contacts. Five Stars plus.
