Nala Outdoor Learning Center

We are happy to share with you that the facilities at our Outdoor Learning Center (OLC) are complete. We look forward to welcoming our students on overnight fieldtrips as soon as the Covid-19 crisis ends.

The Outdoor Learning Center in Nala is a safe, green and environment-friendly space that blends seamlessly into the natural landscape of Kavre District, where children and young adults can learn and play in nature. The OLC meets the growing demand for students of city schools to reconnect with nature and the need to inspire future generations about the value of the natural world.

The Outdoor Learning Center is located at Kashi Bhanjyang, 7 km from Banepa, Kavre and 35 km from Kathmandu. The site has beautiful ridges, valleys, slopes, streams, and wetlands, and spots with panoramic views of the Himalayan peaks as well as of Nala, Bhaktapur and Panchkhal. The site sits along the trekking trail from Dhulikhel to Nagarkot. Authentic Newari culture in Nala, Brahmin/Chhetri and Tamang culture in the vicinity can be experienced.

These one and half years of high school that I spent in Ullens School are the best times of my entire school education phase. Ullens is really one of the best schools in Nepal. I can’t ask for more as there is everything needed already. The teachers are helpful.

Ullens school is special for me . With the help of the teachers and friends I met here, I could adjust well in the new foreign country, Nepal. Teachers believe that every students are unique and respect our opinions. I shared my worries and problems with my teachers and they helped me to find the right solution.

Hi! My name is June Piya. Ever since I came to Ullens, I’ve loved it being here. On the very first day, I met my best friend from Kindergarten. I really like all the teachers, from Grade I to V. I also made a new best friend and we’ve been together since third grade.
