Kathmandu is the capital of Nepal and also known as a city of
Temples. The climate during the winter (November to February) can
get quite as cold as 0 degrees celcius at night, but during the
monsoon season (April to August) it is quite hot and wet, reaching
temperatures as warm as 35 degrees celcius. When volunteers come
out from the airport gate they can experience the crazy traffic and
the narrow roads which are running many transport services. After a
20 minute drive from the airport you will be in our office. We can
reach all of our placements in Kathmandu within 1 to ½ hour by car,
bus or motorbike from the BVO Nepal office. Our office is located
nearby Thamel, the main tourist district of Kathmandu. You will also
stay in a Hotel in Thamel on arrival in Kathmandu, during training
and after placement. In Thamel you can access the internet,
international phone calls, money exchange, 24 hour ATM machines,
western food Nepali dancing, clubbing and much more…. 
climate in Pokhara is similar
to Kathmandu but is often rainier in the wet season due to its
position near the mountains. This is second largest city in Nepal
and is also one of its most beautiful cities. The Annapurna
mountain range is reflected in the sheltered lake. This is one of
the trekking starting points for travelers too. Our placements in
Pokhara are nearby lakeside where volunteers will have access to the
same kind of facilities as Kathmandu. You can also visit to some
local sightseeing spots like the Peace Pagoda, Devis Falls, and
underground caves.

it’s entrance in Sauraha, a major town, with resorts for travellers
and other facilities. Narayangart is another major town in Chitwan
where many volunteers travel from their village placements on the
weekends for food and other supplies and to use internet and phone
facilities. Most of the villages in Chitwan will also have smaller
shops which sell basic supplies like bottled water, shampoo and
chocolates and will also probably have an international telephone.
