We will well organize airport pick up by personal car either comfortable transportation to our hostel. On receipt of your flight details, WVN will organize an airport pick up and drop off to your accommodation in Kathmandu (this will not exceed 2 nights). This is covered by your program fee and as such there will be no charge and we will endeavor to be on time. We cannot be held accountable for problems such as traffic jams but we will do our best to meet you punctually. Also please note that we are not allowed into the Arrivals Hall of the airport so we will meet you just outside the main EXIT Hall with a name plate with WVN logo. The area is not big and it should be easy to find each other. Please note that any offers to carry your luggage will come from outside parties (not WVN staff) so if you are approached and accept, you will be expected to pay a tip. We strongly advise not to accept those services as it encourages begging. Should you leave the country immediately after the volunteering / internship, WVN staff can drop you at the airport.

Accommodation

Volunteers will live at the Monastery in separate volunteer living quarters. Accommodation is basic but comfortable. The rural located project accommodation are more simple and without the western style toilets, not hot showers we request to volunteer can not expect the luxury accommodation in rural project. The Accommodation in urban is more Modern. 

Accommodation in Nepal is comfy but generally very basic. Particularly in rural locations most accommodation will have western style toilets however some options only have Indian style squat toilets so be prepared.

Food & Beverages

We only provide food when they are in the monastery. Three meal of day with tea and coffee. We do not provide hard drink and no allowed to hard drink at the monastery. Food is very simple and extremely delicious. Food during your placement is included in the program fee. You should receive two to three meals a day throughout the placement, which will be of a Nepali standard, usually Daal–Bhat (lentil soup – rice), vegetable curry, pickle etc. If you wish to supplement your diet with other food, these expenses are yours. We will only cover food and accommodation for the period agreed for your placement and only at your placement.

If you go trekking or wish to stay in Nepal after your agreed period of placement, you will be responsible for your own expenses. If you decide to go away during your placement we cannot refund you any money and you do this at your own cost. In most cases you will be staying with a host family after the program orientation and will share the same food with them. Should you have any dietary conditions, you should let us know before your arrival in Nepal. Should you wish to return to the city at the weekends, you must cover your food and accommodation costs yourself. In case you want to make any trips during your placement, the period is still counted within regular placement time and that time won’t be extended to your date.
