Our volunteers explore the heart of Nepal by meeting local people, learning its history, and embracing its rich cultural heritage.

Our Organization / Story
TravAction Nepal is a grassroots organization based entirely in Nepal. Since 2004, we've placed international and local volunteers in communities across the country, and we still run every one of our projects ourselves: our community school, disability centre and women's centre.
Over those years we've learned what actually works. Volunteers make the biggest difference when they're matched carefully, supported well, and placed where there's a real, ongoing need.
