Ahhhh Saping :) Such a wonderful experience! The kids had SO much energy and were super eager to learn! The village itself is beautiful! I had a lovely room above the school, hot solar panel shower and really good food.

This was my first experience with workaway and what an adventure it was. Saping is such a beautiful village full of amazing and friendly locals. The school that Uttam directs provides wonderful opportunities for the children of Saping and along with the other Nepali teachers, volunteers are very well looked after.

Saping is great!! I spent just under a month here, and the work was very fun and rewarding. Be prepared for a pretty intense rural culture shock, but although it does take some time to adapt, it's so great.

As with all of Nepal, this school exceeded my expectations. The village is gorgeous and its so nice to get away from the city and live amongst friendly farming people. Teaching is work for sure, planning interesting lessons to help the kids learn but also (more importantly?) keep their attention, takes creativity and enthusiasm. Kids are kids… read more

I spent 3 weeks in Saping during the month of August and it was an amazing experience! Usually, you will arrive in Kathmandu and then spend a night in the town of Dulikhel in Uttam's guest house.

I stayed here for only a week last summer. My short stay was due to myself not fully understanding my own body and what i was capable of. However, even with only a week there i found the people there loving and welcoming. I had so much fun hanging out, playing uno, football, and making the most interesting chair ever.
