About us


Voluntourism Project
Not tourism. Not volunteering.
A journey into complete living.
This project also draws its spirit from the founder’s extensive journey of collaboration with global changemakers. Notably, Deepjaya Sharma has worked closely with renowned international filmmakers Kameron Waters and Kip Andersen — the visionary minds behind documentaries like Seaspiracy, Cowspiracy, and Christspiracy. Their shared purpose and passion for truth, justice, and Earth’s healing have seeded inspiration into this space, reinforcing that transformation requires both soulful inner work and bold systemic shifts. This journey is equally rooted in environmental conservation, plant and forest protection, and deeply aligned with the needs of local communities across Nepal, especially in remote areas where access to basic education and health support is limited. Whether it is through protecting sacred groves, sharing indigenous wisdom, or healing together after natural disasters, this project creates an ecosystem where service, self-inquiry, and social transformation are not separate paths — but one. "Voluntourism – A Journey into Complete Living" is not a campaign. It is a remembering. It is a call for those who are done with the noise and ready to live with intention, to contribute without performance, and to reawaken through presence. It is for those who have seen the world, touched its glimmer, and still feel the ache of something more real. This vision is for them — for you. For those who are ready to live again, not just exist.
Mr. Deepjaya Sharma is a sociologist, conservationist, humanitarian, and advocate for animal rights whose journey spans over 2 decades of grassroots action, strategic leadership, and soulful service. Guided by a deep inner inquiry and spiritual clarity, his work arises not only from a desire to serve but from an unshakable awareness that all outer transformation must begin within.
His path has intertwined with natural disasters — earthquakes, floods, storms, and landslides — where he has stood with remote communities through chaos, rebuilding not only homes, but also hope. In conservation, education, and animal welfare, he has contributed to some of the most challenging yet transformative projects in Nepal.
He has collaborated with respected organizations such as the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI), Humane Society International (HSI), Holtzman Wildlife Foundation, PETA, Animal Welfare Network Nepal (AWNN), and Animals Australia, etc. His pivotal role in dialogues around the Gadhimai festival speaks to his capacity to navigate the intersection of tradition, spirituality, and animal compassion.
More than an activist or implementer, Mr. Sharma is a mystic — one who has learned to walk barefoot through the field of both suffering and beauty, offering his life as a bridge between worlds: modern and ancient, scientific and spiritual, structured and surrendered.
His insights — born from the dust of Himalayan trails and the silence of forest shrines — are carried now into Voluntourism not as doctrine, but as invitation. Not to follow him — but to walk beside him, in untangling yourself consciously.
