Nepal

Overview

A Two Wolves Abroad immersion provides an opportunity to immerse yourself in the local culture of one of our partner communities and gain an understanding of the world in a unique and deeply meaningful way. These 3-week experiences take place during university and school breaks.

Our next Immersion is from 6 - 27 January 2023 for up to 12 participants and 3 team leaders.

About the immersion

Before the trek you will spend a few days in Kathmandu, learning about the rich cultural tapestry of Nepal from Jesuit scholar Father Gregory Sharkey SJ.

The heart of this immersion lies in a trek through the Himalayas to the village of Tipling. The 6-day trek is a time for you to slow down, have a think and develop strong relationships with the group. There will be times for talking, and times for silence, times to laugh and play, and times to enjoy the stillness and tranquillity of the stunning Himalayan landscape.

Our trek will eventually bring us to the village of Tipling. This incredibly isolated, but incredibly rich community is chiselled out of the hillside looking out towards the stunning Ganesh Himal (Elevation: 7422m). Our time in Tipling will be spent teaching English and assisting with construction work, facilitated by the Jesuits.

Once we finish our time in Tipling, we will take a shorter route back to Kathmandu for some well-deserved R&R before our return to Sydney.

Nepal will challenge you, it will push you to your physical and spiritual limits, but it will also provide you with a chance to experience something beyond anything you ever have before.

Testimonials

"It is very difficult to express just how amazing and transformative my immersion was. The comparison of this entrenched poverty and kindness of the local people was profound, in an incredibly eye-opening way. I am extremely grateful for the friendships I have formed throughout my three-week journey. In essence, my Nepal experience left me feeling a deep responsibility to continue serving others. I was enabled to realise my full potential as a service volunteer and was given the strength to pursue life with a courageous and selfless outlook."

“My immersion to Nepal was an unforgettable and transformative experience, one that I cannot put into words. Having the ability to interact and provide service to the Tipling community, amongst a beautiful country and amazing people was definitely a life-changing experience. Nothing can compare to relationships that were formed with the locals, through their generosity and kindness, ultimately leaving me with a greater drive to provide more service to communities.”
