(International Winter Camp)

Experience Nepal goes beyond a holiday or school trip, allowing students to immerse themselves in Nepal’s art, music, food, culture, and everyday life.

Post-programme Benefits

Through meaningful cultural encounters and creative activities, students develop global citizenship, cross-cultural understanding, creativity, confidence, independence, and international friendships, while gaining a deeper appreciation of Nepal’s diverse heritage, indigenous traditions, craftsmanship, food, music, dance, religious traditions, Himalayan geography, and folklore. Most importantly, students return home with new perspectives, shared memories, creative experiences, and a personal connection to Nepal and its people.

ACCOMPANYING SCHOOL STAFF

Participating schools are encouraged to send accompanying teachers or staff to:

  • Support students throughout the programme
  • Actively participate in activities
  • Facilitate communication between host and visiting schools
  • Oversee student welfare and safety
A separate staff package or fee details will be provided based on the number of participating students.

STUDENT SAFETY & WELL-BEING

Student safety is integral to every aspect of the camp.
Key measures include:

  • On-site nurse, medical tracking, and emergency support
  • Regular headcounts, group leaders, and buddy systems
  • Venue risk assessments and transport safety standards
  • Activity-specific safety briefigs and emergency response procedures
A complete orientation on local etiquette, personal safety, and safeguarding is provided before activities start.

International
School Exchange

One of the distinctive features of Experience Nepal is that students are not only learning about Nepal—they are also sharing their own cultures. Throughout the camp, participants will have opportunities to:

  • Teach: Their language, games, food, music and traditions.

  • Learn: About Nepal and other participating countries.

  • Collaborate On performances, challenges, art and cultural projects.

  • Connect With peers from around the world.

This transforms the journey into an authentic international cultural ex- change rather than a simple sightseeing trip.

Come as a student. Leave as a cultural ambassador. We look forward to welcoming your school to Nepal.
