This Teacher Training Program in Nepal is designed for educators who want to make a meaningful impact while gaining valuable professional experience. Across 10 days, participants work in local schools in Kathmandu, collaborating with local teachers and delivering classroom support. The experience culminates in a Professional Development workshop led by your group for local educators.

Outside of the school placement, you'll enjoy stunning views of the majestic Himalayas and immerse yourself in Nepal’s rich cultural heritage. Explore ancient temples, vibrant local markets, and traditional villages, all while experiencing the warmth of the local community. This trip combines professional learning, cultural immersion, and meaningful connection — all within a supportive, well-organised program designed to inspire and enrich your teaching journey. 

This experience is part of our Teacher Training Program, designed for educators who want to be fully immersed in a local school setting, with a strong focus on sharing professional practice. It can be both challenging and deeply rewarding — ideal for those looking for a more hands-on and impactful experience.

 Arrive at Kathmandu’s international airport and transfer to your comfortable accommodation. Take time to settle in, unwind, and meet the Global Teacher team. Begin with an orientation to prepare for the week ahead. 

Spend five mornings in a local school, working alongside a partner teacher to support classroom learning and share teaching strategies. Engage in activities like observation, co‑teaching, lesson planning, and reflections, while receiving ongoing support from team members and your dedicated Team Leader. Afternoons will be spent exploring Kathmandu’s temples, markets, and cultural landmarks, with transport, entrance fees, and a local guide included. 

As a team, we come together to plan and deliver a full day of professional development for local teachers. Drawing on our combined experience and strengths, we run interactive workshops focused on practical strategies, inclusive teaching, and student engagement — tailored to the local context.

It’s a powerful day of connection and learning, where we’re able to support and uplift local educators while growing in confidence and collaboration as a group.

After a short scenic flight you will arrive to Pokhara for two days of cultural and natural exploration. Highlights include boat rides on Phewa Lake, sunrise views from Sarangkot, and visits to Davis Falls, Gupteshwor Cave, Bindabasini Temple, and the World Peace Pagoda. 

After breakfast, you will take a return domestic flight back to Kathmandu, connecting with your international departure or continuing your onward journey.

OR, if you choose to join our optional Chitwan extension, you’ll travel by private van to Chitwan National Park.
