Who will meet me in airport? What should I do if I am delayed or miss my flight? When should I arrive?
Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM) in Kathmandu is Nepal’s only international airport in Nepal.
We ask that volunteers travel with all necessary and important documents, including volunteer placement, passport, visa and vaccination booklet. Please have them easily accessible if they are requested. Volunteers join our program with a tourist visa and do not need a long term or working visa.
If there is a delay or missed flight, please contact our local office or coordinator (contact numbers are available in personal placement sheets and pre-departure booklet) and wait for a representative. If there is failure to connect with IFRE’s local rep at the airport, please travel to the contact hotel named in the personal placement documents via a secure taxi. Please do not use taxis outside airport. Airport concierge services can assist.
We advise Nepal project volunteers to arrive in Kathmandu one day prior to program start date. The weekly project fee includes expenses from the first to last day of the project (Usually first or third Monday). Expenses prior to the project’s start date are the responsibility of the volunteer (usually $30 per day for room/food in hostel).
The mission of IFRE Volunteers is to offer the most affordable as well as the highest quality volunteer and humanitarian abroad experiences - enabling us to make a contribution for all of humanity in its quest to make the world a better place. Through our volunteer and humanitarian trips abroad, we aim to spread love and compassion worldwide while improving the lives of destitute children and less-fortunate communities. We at IFRE also seek sustainable solutions in the fields of education, healthcare, conservation efforts and development issues through international volunteering.
