Senior Volunteer Opportunity


I keep seeing people come to Nepal to help and end up building a guest house for someone. Seriously? We do not believe that is a good use of our volunteers' time or talent to do what local people can do. We also know it gets quite cold in many countries throughout N. America and Europe and cold winters can be difficult for people on the other side of 55. Our winters are quite mild in the Kathmandu Valley with views of the Himalayas.


No Volunteer Fees-Pay only for food/Utilities while you are here and we feature a ½ price on food charges ($10 per day for volunteers after Mar. 1) for over 60 years old and native/fluent English speaker. Your entire stay will cost only $5 per day for the right person.

Aug. 2017-March 1, 2018
Enjoy a mild winter, interesting activities and make a difference in our village. Imagine how much money you will have saved if you do not have to pay for heating and rent.

What's going on in India?


One of our guests went to India. When he came back he told us about his time there. There doesn't seem to be any money in India. All the ATM machines and banks seem to have people waiting all day long to take money out.

Our guest, Michael, had to use his credit card for things. The problem with that is that there can be an extra charge for using a credit card. Most companies do not have the capability of taking credit cards, so time spent in India can easily become all about trying to get money instead of enjoying India.

If you are in India or planning to go, I'd recommend hopping on a plane to Nepal from Delhi rather than dealing with the fiasco that seems to be India.

So, jump on a flight to Kathmandu and avoid the political issues going on now in India. For once, I think Nepal is a more stable country at this time. Apparently, there is a plan to starve Pakistan out, but in the meantime they seem to be starving everyone.

Come to Nepal; come to Changunarayan. We have rooms, as does the other home stay homes and guest houses. It's really lovely here.

The weather is a bit chilly in the mornings, but we have clear skies and a sunny rooftop. It's really a mild winter here in the Kathmandu Valley.

Our website got hacked, but we are still here and ready for a few guests. +977 015141181. Or you can contact us at FrugalTravelsNepal@gmail.com for a quick response.
