In the evening, you will participate in jungle activities during your stay in Chitwan, followed by an overnight stay at the hotel in Chitwan.

For three days, the Community/Service Project takes place within a local village community in Chitwan. The project provides support solely upon viable requests from the community or if genuine needs arise.

As part of their service, you will be actively engaged with community members and hired laborers. The following services will be performed during this period:

– Maintenance of school infrastructure and community.
– Teaching and Educational Activities.
– Women’s education and empowerment initiatives.
– Environmental awareness campaigns.
– Medical health and sanitation programs.

Engaging in the volunteering service mentioned above provides a unique opportunity to gain insight into the lifestyle, challenges, culture, and values of the people residing in the community. It’s a lifetime learning experience that leaves a lasting positive impact, enriching your understanding and appreciation of diverse communities for years to come.

After volunteering in Chitwan for three days, we will head to Lumbini, which is around 145 kilometers away. The drive from Chitwan will take 4 to 5 hours.

Lumbini is the birthplace of Lord Buddha and one of Nepal’s sacred sites. Visitors can visit over twenty-five Buddhist monasteries built by diverse countries, from Vietnam to France, study Buddhism, meditate, and visit the birthplace within the sacred Mayadevi Gardens.

Upon reaching Lumbini, you can explore the local market in the afternoon. Finally, overnight stay at a hotel in Lumbini.

Today, we will visit Maya Devi Temple, where Buddha was born, the World Peace Pagoda Stupa, and monasteries built by different countries.

After exploration, we go back to the hotel for lunch and then visit a monastery with young monks. Here, you will have a chance to learn about the monks’ experiences and lifestyle. We can also indulge in activities such as playing soccer with them and teaching English through games and activities that we design.
