The project
The goal of the Environment Conservation Program is to conserve, promote and protect the natural environment as well as the country’s historical & cultural heritage for future generations. The Program aims to achieve this by raising awareness of environmental issues in the rural, underprivileged communities of Nepal, and by promoting sustainable agricultural, forestry, water, and waste management practices. Our goals are aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Volunteers will work alongside local communities and experts on projects such as permaculture, agroforestry, and climate action. You will help support eco-friendly livelihoods and protect Nepal’s extraordinary natural landscape for future generations. The project hosts can help plan additional trekking expeditions and excursions after your volunteering work has concluded.

Accommodation & food
Volunteers stay with the host family/hostel identified by VIN. The living conditions at the host family/ hostel are simple and basic. Male and female volunteers will share the same living area but have separate sleeping rooms. The volunteers sleep on simple beds/mattresses. Please bring your sleeping bag. The food will be provided in Nepali standard i.e. dal Bhat (rice, lentil soup, vegetables, pickle, eggs).
