" My Birth Place is Okhaldhunga "

" My Birth Place is Okhaldhunga "



Introduction
Village Nepal Volunteer (VNV) program in Okhaldhunga district was created by Children for Green New Nepal (CGNN), http://www.bigrex.com/cgnn, with the help of an inspired, independent volunteer/traveler with the goal of providing the opportunity for service learning and intercultural immersion to international volunteers in Nepal. VNV places volunteers in the remote parts of the Okhaldhunga district in eastern Nepal, not far from Mount Everest and other Himalayan peaks. The VNV coordinators work with volunteers to provide benefits to the local community and to ensure a rewarding and unforgettable experience for the volunteers. Some areas for potential volunteer work include teacher training, English Language instruction, other school-based development, environmental education, waste management and sanitation, conducting health workshops, assisting at the local hospital, involvement in youth group activities, and creating informational posters and murals.
Essential to VNV's success, volunteers will work closely with community members to create and develop beneficial and sustainable programs and activities. VNV representatives will consult with volunteers prior to their departure as well as after their arrival in Nepal, to develop an individualized volunteer experience. CGNN will work closely with the volunteer throughout their village stay to ensure the individuals comfort and progress. We pride ourselves on our ability to tailor your volunteer experience, and allowing our volunteers the freedom to construct programs and activities true to their experience and passions.
Whether you work in a school, clinic, in the community, or simply assist with day to day tasks, the friendships that develops enriches the lives of both the volunteers and the local people

About Okhaldhunga
Sitting at just over 5000 feet, Okhaldunga is an ideal destination for immersion in a genuine Nepali village. The magic of this town is conveyed in both it's hospitality and natural beauty. Although a narrow dirt road now connects this district to the rest of Nepal, the hilly terrain makes travel to Okhaldhunga difficult at best, and at times quite treacherous. For most, a two day walk from the town of Katari continues to be the best and safest way to reach Okhaldhunga.
Amidst a scenic wonderland, Okhaldhunga offers a truly Nepali experience. The district capital is a small town surrounded by hills dotted with small faming villages. Okhaldhunga's pristinely breathtaking scenery, immortalized by 20th century poet Siddhicharan Shrestha, invites visitors to a number of local hikes and treks, including a two hour walk to Pokali, the second largest waterfall in Nepal. During certain times of year, the crisp, clear skies give view to the Himalayas, including Mount Everest, providing a perfect excuse to relax in front of the world's tallest mountain range.
The Okhaldhunga district, with Okhaldhunga as its capital, is part of the Sagarmatha zone of eastern Nepal, one of 75 districts. It spans an area of about 1,100km2 and has a population of over 150,000 people.
Okhaldhunga also offers the setting to accomplish many things, working hand in hand with the community in such areas as education, English instruction, sanitation and waste management, health, youth activities, infrastructure planning and development, and more.
Your trip to Okhaldhunga is an all-inclusive opportunity to live and work in the “Real Nepal”, far away from city life
