Your teaching will have a truly positive impact, as being able to speak and read English is a skill that can dramatically enhance the course of a Buddhist monk’s life.
You will be based in the capital city of Kathmandu, and during your free time you will be able to explore here and the breath-taking country of Nepal. You will have the chance to experience Nepal’s world-famous attractions including rafting on the Tibetan border, trekking the renowned Annapurna circuit or even bungee jumping with the longest free-fall bungee jump in the world.
