Sabbatical in Nepal
Nepal, the land of temples, palaces and pagodas, is a land of special tranquillity. Here you meet people who treat each other with respect and in some places also protect animals and plants in particular. Compared to metropolitan areas in China and India, Nepal's two neighbors and the world's most populous countries, travelers will find deserted places, peaceful mountain trails and breathtaking vistas over landscapes that are untouched. Anyone who decides to take a break from their busy working life and wants to take a sabbatical has the opportunity to find their own inner balance in Nepal.
More than 70 peoples and 50 languages, from the tropical south to the alpine-arctic north-east, cultural diversity instead of simplicity, calm instead of chaos. The country, which was particularly marked by severe earthquakes in 2015, in which many cultural monuments were destroyed, offers you the opportunity to get involved in many different projects during your sabbatical.

Time off from the job in Nepal

Anyone who wants to take a break from their stressful everyday work for a Sabbatical in Nepal decides will not only climb many mountain paths.
Tropical, colorful, devout: Our project locations in Nepal
Whether in the 'heart of the jungle' or directly in the state capital - anyone who would like to take a sabbatical in Nepal can actively support our teams in tropical Chitwan or in the city of Kathmandu. In the southern foothills of the Himalayas lies Chitwan, which today is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and National Park and shelter for many animal species. The vegetation is characterized by heavy monsoon rains in the summer months until late September. A few kilometers further inland is the Nepalese capital Kathmandu. Temples, shopping markets, monuments and palace complexes make it clear how culturally diverse and rich in history Nepal is.
Recreation
In order to discover the cultural wealth of the country, it is worth visiting the numerous temples, shrines and bahals, listening to old Hindu or Buddhist stories, browsing local markets and trying out the national cuisine. It is particularly colorful at the numerous religious festivals that are based on the lunar calendar and therefore do not take place on fixed dates. To discover the wilder side of Nepal, travelers can go on safaris such as through the Chitwan Jungle. Rhinos, monkeys, wild boar and deer can be observed with a bit of luck.
