My host family was amazing. They were very friendly and made sure I was comfortable and all my needs were mey. The school was a blast! The children were so friendly, curious and enthusiastic. The " work" was hard to call work bc it was basically just helping the students.
It is incredible how warmly welcoming everyone was. I definitely recommend this if you want to experience life with a Nepalese family and spend time with students.

Khyam was super helpful and great! Thank you so much! I really loved meeting him. The host family was amazing as well just make sure you know it’s a very local environment before you come here and make sure that’s what you want, then you’ll love it :)) the kids at the school were so sweet, all different ages from grade 1-10! I feel like the communication at the school could have been a little bit better but you definitely learn how to be flexible, independent and to do your own thing.

For a long time, my travels were defined by observation—I was a witness to new cultures, but rarely a part of them. My time with the students at Ritambhara Pathshala, through Khyam’s organization, completely reframed that perspective. I moved from observing to immersing, a shift that allowed me to see how social systems and local geography shape the transition from childhood to adulthood. Understanding how these physical and human elements weave together became my greatest takeaway and has set a new framework for how I intend to explore the world.

My time here in the organization has been truly amazing. From the moment you arrive until the last goodbye you will feel welcomed. The school allows you to teach your own knowledge and invites you to school competitions. The kids are super curious and want to learn about everything. Staying with the host family just rounded up this incredible and immersive experience. I highly recommend everyone to visit the organization and get to know its culture and especially the people.

My experience at Ritambhara Pathshala School was truly enriching and heartwarming! The kids are very curious and full of energy, but we managed to find a good balance between Yoga lessons and fun. I also taught some English to the senior students, which was a beautiful opportunity to share, listen and learn from them as well.
My host family was incredibly kind to me — thank you, Santosh, Nomuna, Sruti, and Lila for creating such a welcoming environment. I feel truly blessed! I wish these children keep spreading love and kindness with their pure hearts. Thank you very much for everything!

My stay, experience in the organization is truly amazing. It was always my deepest wish to volunteer and share some part of my knowledge and experience with other people, but also exchange and learn about other culture. I enjoyed a lot my stay with Santosh, Namuna and Shruti. They're very warm, friendly, helpful, kind and welcoming people. I felt home at their place from the very first moment I arrived. I could try delicious Nepalese food, immerse into the local community which was an absolutely amazing and moving experience for me. Thank you for your kindness and fun we had! I'm very grateful!

Stay with a local Nepalese family with private room. Share meals together in family home. Teach English at the school 5 days per week. First week was school holidays, however some students still attended. Teachers were helpful and assisted me in teaching correct curriculum when school returned. During school holidays I had free range on teaching, due to limited teachers at school. Kyham was very helpful. He picked me up from the airport and took me to a local restaurant then to meet the family. Khyam and team checked in on me regularly and provided recommendations for days off!

Kyham was very accommodating and made sure I was always doing well. My host family was incredible! Santosh and Namuna couldn't have given me a better first week in the organization! I really lived like a local and have friends for life. The school was their first week back after the new year, so it was more of a practise week. I hadn't taught in a school before so I needed more guidance than was first given. Once I had got into it, I had an amazing experience. The children and staff were amazing! I learnt so much and I will treasure my experience forever.

Volunteering at Sirutar Secondary School was a lovely & humbling experience. The children in the school had lots of enthusiasm towards life, and were very friendly towards volunteers & quickly grew a liking towards volunteers. The teaching experience in the school is largely a self-driven and self-motivated affair - there was no fixed framework or plan arranged for volunteers but it was about how you as a volunteer can contribute as best as you can in your own way. The homestay family (Sumit, Maina and Sanokaji) were excellent hosts - the village life was truly warm & eye opening!
