Nepal Travel destinations are available for volunteer work. As an American Acupuncturist doing Voluntourism in Nepal’s agriculture world, I immersed myself in the heart of this unique farming culture. For 8 weeks in the spring of 2018, I volunteered for Acupuncture Relief Project (ARP). It’s in the farming village, Bajra Barahi, Nepal. Here, I stepped into what seemed a lifestyle from the past. However, it’s still a way of life in rural Nepal.
An authentic way to experience Nepal is through the farming villages and people. Agriculture is one of the largest contributions to this country’s economy. From Lonely Planet’s Nepal, I read, “It is often said that while you first come to Nepal for the mountains, you return for the people.” It has been such a blessing to learn how true this is. During my time volunteering in this farming village, I went on many walkabouts. These took me through labyrinthine, terraced fields to experience this agricultural nirvana.
