Program description

You will explore remote areas of Vietnam! Visit the Sapa Region and experience a home stay in a remote village and camping in the forest. You will also do an Environmental Trek through the jungle, with the chance to swim in a waterfall. Other interesting opportunities include visiting some animal raising project and other projects, which help the villagers being less dependent on the vulnerable nature.

Accommodation and meals

Accommodation will vary from staying at the hotel in Sapa to local homestay and camping, depending on the itinerary.

There are no laundry facilities, so expect to wash your own clothes by hand. All participants are expected to be environmentally responsible and to use all resources with restraint, especially water, paper and electricity. You will be expected to clean up after yourself, and to play your part to keep the accommodation neat and tidy.

What we expect from our participants

Volunteer work and intercultural travel share a common trait: the more you put into it, the more you get out of it. This program is designed for proactive individuals and groups. Naturally, the schedule and activities of our program are subject to change. At times, alterations in activities are due to changes in local conditions.
