Medical Volunteer Trek in Nepal  - 18 Days

Starting From

Trip Overview

Join the Nepal medical volunteer trek with the local expert Sherpa team from the Everest region of Nepal. Hike through remote Sherpa villages and enjoy the stunning views of high peaks as you make your way through the life-changing landscapes of the Lower Everest Region, supported by our cheerful Sherpa guide and porters. This medical volunteer program is specially designed to support rural people of the Lower Everest region of Nepal through our 3 days free medical camp. Don’t miss this opportunity to join the epic Nepal medical volunteering trip.

This Medical Volunteer trek Program in Nepal will not only enable you to make some meaningful contribution to the lives of the people, but it’ll also help you to learn more about the healthcare system of the country. Volunteers working in this program make a real contribution to staff working within Nepal’s health clinics and medical centers. Volunteers mainly work in medical clinics, which provide care and treatment to the people residing in poor and underprivileged areas.

In our Lower Everest Volunteer medical Trek, we organize 3 full days of free medical camp in a remote village of Solukhumbu for the purposes of providing free medical advice, and medicine to the unfortunate people and referring them for specialized treatment or surgery whenever it is required. This camp will be very beneficial to bring awareness to the underprivileged people of the remote part of Nepal who have no approach to basic healthcare facilities or knowledge about the diseases they are suffering from.

We can fully customize a Lower Everest Volunteer medical Trek itinerary as per your interest and budget. We can also design special medical volunteering trips in the others part of Nepal. If you would like to volunteer in Kathmandu, Pokhara City, or any other city of Nepal or just looking for a short 1-week program or 10-12 days program– let us know about your requirements, we will customize the itinerary and send you the offer accordingly. We pride ourselves on developing unique itineraries to meet the requirements of our volunteers.
