Gurukul Yatra · Teaching Beyond Borders

We go where schools don't.

A field education initiative by Gurukul. Our team packs up and travels to Nepal's most underserved districts - teaching digital literacy, AI fundamentals, and internet skills to students who have never seen a computer. Completely free. Always.

The reality in Nepal

3%

of rural Nepali children have
access to a computer.

We're changing that,
one village at a time.

No satellite campus. No monthly fee. Just a team, a backpack, and the belief that every kid deserves to know how the internet works. We drive into the hills, set up in school courtyards, and teach for free - because access to knowledge should never depend on a postcode.

What “no computer” actually means

Graduating without ever typing a sentence on a keyboard

Unable to apply for jobs, scholarships, or government services online

No exposure to coding, design, or any digital skill that drives the economy

Villages with working smartphones but no understanding of what the internet can do for them

We take education
to where the need is greatest.

While startups build apps in Thamel, millions of children in Humla, Dolpa, Rolpa, and Taplejung are learning from textbooks printed in 1997. Geography should not be destiny. The internet has no address requirement - and neither does our team.

The concentration problem

Over 90% of Nepal's tech training centres and computer labs sit within 50km of Kathmandu Valley. Children in the mid-hills and Far West must travel for days to access what Kathmandu kids get walking distance from home. We're closing that distance, one trip at a time.

The knowledge gap

80%

of Nepal's population lives outside Kathmandu - yet almost all tech education stays concentrated in the Valley.

Our promise

Rs0

charged to any student,
ever. No conditions. No catch.

Free. Always.
For every child.

The students never pay a rupee. Not now, not ever. Our funding model is built so the cost never touches the children - because the moment you put a price on knowledge, you decide who deserves it. We refuse to make that decision.

The process

How a Yatra works

Each Yatra is a carefully planned field expedition - not a marketing stunt.

01

We choose a district

Our team researches underserved areas - schools with no computer labs, villages with poor connectivity. We plan routes, reach out to local contacts, and book homestays.

02

We teach for free

For 7–15 days, we teach digital literacy, AI basics, internet safety, and coding fundamentals. No fees. All content is delivered in Nepali.

03

We document & return

We film the journey, share the story on social media, and use the reach to fund the next trip. The school keeps every device and resource we leave behind.

Support the mission

Help fund the next Yatra

NPR 1,000 funds teaching materials for 20 students. Every rupee goes directly to the field - no overhead, no middlemen.

I'm a teacher or volunteer

Spend a week or two teaching in rural Nepal. We handle logistics - you bring the knowledge.

I run a school

Request Gurukul Yatra to visit your school. We teach tech, leave behind resources, and ask nothing in return.
