Cultural Immersion Experience
A home away from home…
Discover Nepal’s incredible landscapes, captivating cultural and historical heritage, and friendly people.
Our Cultural Immersion Program offers you the incredibly safe and enriching opportunity to fully immerse yourself in the Nepalese culture, cuisine, customs and daily way of life.
The Cultural Immersion program provides a truly unique opportunity to become part of a Nepalese family for a short period of your life. While the vast majority of tourists in Nepal come only to visit, do some activities and buy some souvenirs, you will have the chance to discover how people actually live in this beautiful country. You will reach beyond just by living with your host family.
This project promotes cross-cultural understanding. It is a rewarding and intense cultural encounter, but you should expect to experience some challenges as you process through the cultural immersion. Cultural immersion isn’t just about what we can take, it is also about what we’re giving back.
During your 'Cultural Immersion' program, you will stay with a carefully selected host family, giving you the rare opportunity to truly experience life inside a Nepalese community. Your host family will provide a private room with basic furniture and shared facilities.
All meals will be provided for you by your host family: 3 authentic Nepali meals per day (Breakfasts, Lunches & Dinners).
