DescriptionTeach English in Nepal – An Adventure Beyond the Classroom
Immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty of the Himalayas, where every trail leads to a story and every greeting begins with a warm “Namaste.” Whether it’s the thrill of trekking near Mount Everest, sharing meals of dal bhat with your host family, or receiving a Dashain Tika blessing, life in Nepal is filled with authentic moments that stay with you long after you leave. From the highest peaks to the quietest valleys, the spirit of Shangri-la is always close by.
This opportunity goes far beyond teaching English—it’s a chance to empower young learners, open doors to brighter futures, and make a real difference in a local community. Through your lessons, you’ll help students gain a skill that offers them access to wider education, job prospects, and global understanding.

Your placement will be in the Dhading District, located west of Kathmandu. After airport pickup, you'll be shown around the local area to help you acclimate before traveling to your host village. During your stay, you’ll live with a local homestay family—an experience that provides not only accommodation and meals but also a deep cultural exchange and connection to everyday life in Nepal.
