 Nepal is a devloping country in South Asia. Nepal has a rich geography, art, culture and religions. Nepal is a beautiful country, often compared with a Switzerland. Nepal covers 8 of the world's top 10 highest peaks and among those Mount Everest is the highest. Nepal is also known as Land of Lord Buddha. Lord Buddha originally Gautam Buddha who enlightened the world was born in Lumbini Nepal.
A large number of the populations live below the poverty line and there is high rate of unemployment due to political instability, corruption, favourism and lack of opportunities. Ongoing power struggle in Nepal is the natural flow of events unfolding the Nepalese politics for decades now. The Government is not able to show their existence in all area.
Taking this into consideration all these fact, we organized together a group called THE CHHAHARI GROUP NEPAL (CGN). The members of this group are committed towards our goal. The members of this group have collected enough experiences in volunteering works and are familiar with every problems of the society. CGN is established in 2003 and registered with social welfare council of Nepal. It is a non-governmental and extremely non-profitable organization established with the great hope of changing and promoting the status of the country.
"Chhahari" means roof (this means that all volunteers are welcome to accompany us towards our goal of helping people that are in need.)
CGN conducts various volunteering, internship as well as gap year program for international students and volunteers. Such as English Teaching in deprived school or orphange home, medical internship, medical electives in physiotherapie, journalism and media work, environmental awareneess, community development, charity tours etc.

 Weather in Nepal
Nepal’s
weather is generally predictable and pleasant.
There are four climatic seasons: March–May
(spring), June–August (summer), September–November
(autumn) and December–February (winter).
The monsoon is approximately from the end of June
to the middle of September. About 80 per cent
of the rain falls during that period, so the remainder
of the year is dry. Spring and autumn are the
most pleasant seasons; winter temperatures drop
to freezing with a high level of snowfall in the
mountains. Summer and late spring temperatures
range from 28ºC (83ºF) in the hill regions
to more than 40ºC (104ºF) in the Terai.
In winter, average maximum and minimum temperatures
in the Terai range from a brisk 7ºC (45ºF)
to a mild 23ºC (74ºF). The central valleys
experience a minimum temperature often falling
bellow freezing point and a chilly 12ºC (54ºF)
maximum. Much colder temperatures prevail at higher
elevations. The Kathmandu Valley, at an altitude
of 1310m (4297ft), has a mild climate, ranging
from 19-27ºC (67-81ºF) in summer, and
2-20ºC (36-68ºF) in winter. More... |
