Job Description
Embark on an adventure surrounded by the Himalayan mountains, filled with the friendliest of faces, trekking trails leading to the peaks of Mount Everest, being fuelled by dal bhat and the blessings of Dashain Tika. Here you will find Shangri-la around every corner, whether at the highest peak or the lowest river, from sunrise to sunset, just one “Namaste!” away.
This is more than just an opportunity to teach … it’s about making a lasting impact on the lives of your students, empowering them to shape their futures and contribute to their communities in meaningful ways.

Teaching placements are in the Dhading District, west of Kathmandu. After being picked up at the airport you will be shown around the area (to help work off the jet lag) before heading out to the village where you will be staying with a homestay family.
