Yes, Bisa Basa is a good school and they will help you with the visa without the need of a Lawyer or a tout from the visa office (you will need to maintain a minimum of 70% attendance there). There are also people around Kathmandu that can help ... Read More

There are quite a few schools or colleges that can offer you Nepali tuition and through which you can get a student visa, however, be careful that you must be serious about the course. Repeated lack of attendance is enough alone for them to revoke ... Read More

Hi Dan, Whilst I have gone on a few treks alone in Nepal it is not something I would advise or recommend for anyone. Generally it is very safe, but there is always risk in everything and there have been some disappearances and murders of foreign ... Read More

Moving to Nepal...a bit terrified by ayesha87
Hello, I am moving from Toronto to Lalipatur, Nepal for 10 months. I have no idea what to expect. I'll be there to volunteer but will have a stipend to live on. I have to find my own accomodations. My questions... How is internet access ...
I am living in Swayambhu and it is very affordable. Internet access is only a problem in Kathmandu during load shedding and you can get a contract for your own connection relatively cheaply. However, do not expect the kind of speeds you get in the ... Read More

VISA / NEPAL by zeitgeistcowboy
Namaste, i am planning on a 5 months volunteer trip to Nepal. Do I understand it correctly that I need to be sponsored by an NGO in Nepal in order to be able to volunteer? Or can I volunteer on a tourist visa? Also, what schools or universities ...
Yoou will find that it is safe to do voluntary work on a Nepali tourist Visa. I have even appeared on Nepali TV saying that I was doing so and no-one came after me. Nepal respects the volunteers that come to their country to help and aslong as you ... Read More
