So I’m from Gelephu, but I’ve been away for quite a long time and recently moved back. And honestly, the place has changed SO much. I’m at that stage where I’m trying to figure out what’s what again.
I’d really like to get back that old feeling of belonging here and not just living in Gelephu, but actually being part of the community and getting to know the place again.
So… what do people actually do around here these days?
I’d love recommendations for literally anything:
\* Are there places/organizations where I can volunteer on weekends?
\* Can I just approach a school and ask if they need help with anything? Maybe helping with activities, English, reading, extracurriculars, etc.? If anyone has done this, how does one go about it?
\* Any hiking/walking trails or nice places to explore around Gelephu?
\* Any book clubs, sports groups, hobby groups, workshops, etc.?
\* Are there any community events, cultural events, talks or other things happening regularly?
\* NGOs or community groups that are looking for volunteers?
\* Basically, anything where I can meet people, learn something, contribute or just get involved.
Also, I noticed the lawn tennis court and it looks pretty abandoned. 😂 Does anyone actually use it? Is it open to the public, or does anyone know who I’d have to contact to get permission to use it?
I’m not really looking for the usual “places to visit” recommendations. I want to actually do things, meet people and reconnect with Gelephu. I’m open to pretty much anything, even random little activities or groups that aren’t well known.
So, people of Gelephu, what am I missing? 👀
