I had an amazing experience, with a true immersion into Nepali culture.
Shiva and his family welcomed me with open arms, great care, a comfortable place to sleep, and delicious healthy meals.
I learned a lot from his son Sabinaya during the free tours, where he explained many aspects of Nepal and its diverse cultures.
I also helped improve their website and had full freedom to organize my own schedule, with no pressure.
I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for an authentic and easy local experience in Nepal.

I had an incredible time volunteering with the home. The family is wonderful and welcomed me warmly as soon as I arrived. I was provided with a private room, delicious meals prepared by the generous mother, and made to feel comfortable my entire stay. I was given a free, 3-hour walking tour with the older son, Sabinaya, an exceptional and knowledgeable guide, through the heart of Kathmandu and had the privilege of learning the city's rich history. the home also organizes treks, so I did the Annapurna circuit with Sabinaya and had an unforgettable experience.

The experience was fun, and the working hours were very fair and flexible. I attended the walking tour and took some photos and videos to create reels for their social media and helped to write their blog. The family are kind, the accommodation is clean and comfortable and the food they provide is healthy and tastes nice. The family will ensure you have a great time! I would recommend this experience. Their place is a little far from the centre but it’s in a quiet neighbourhood with little traffic/noise. Overall it was a good experience

I had the privilege to stay with Shiva and his family for 3 weeks, and it was absolutely amazing. I learnt a lot during my stay about Nepalese culture and the mountains. Doing the Annapurna circuit trek for 12 days with Sabinaya and two other volunteers was definitely the highlight. I had such a great time and would definitely recommend this experience !

I had an incredible experience staying with Shiva and supporting his hiking company by taking photos and helping promote his tours. From the very beginning, Shiva was welcoming, kind, and truly passionate about sharing the beauty of the region.
The accommodation was excellent : I had a big private room that was clean, comfortable, and perfect for relaxing after a day outdoors. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful.
One of the absolute highlights of my stay was the delicious food prepared by his wife, Sharmila.Every meal was fresh, flavorful, and made with care. I highly recommend it!
