This was my first ever Worldpackers experience and it exceeded my expectations. I did not expect to meet such nice friendly people and have so many new experiences. The workload is not hard at all and Ramai and everyone at the farm is extremely kind and caring. The living area is great, the environment is calm and relaxing. The farm is located not far from London so on the days off I could go explore the city. The overall experience was just amazing and I even got to improve my Spanish. Would totally recommend this to everyone. Hare Krishna!

I had a great experience, Ramai is an excellent person, there are no words to describe him, the tasks are easy and most of the time we finish before the end of the working day, I wish I could have gone to the temple more often, it is not close, because there is a 10-minute road to the temple, in the rainy season it gets very muddy, we stayed in caravans, there is a heater and it is comfortable, the kitchen is not clean, (there are rats) the bathrooms are outside. Over time you get used to the routine and to being in contact with nature. The food is very spicy and peppery, but I didn't mind the

My experience was very positive. The place is very nice and the tasks are easy. The rooms are comfortable and warm. They give you work gloves and boots. Ramai (the coordinator) is very friendly and cares a lot about the volunteers. The people of the temple are very good people. They make you feel good at all times. I only have words of gratitude. Thank you! Hare krishna

I really loved everything, it's incredible. Ramai is a great person. I think it's a good place to acquire knowledge of agriculture and some other aspects. He knows how to listen and I'm sure he can answer any questions you have. The only thing left to do is to be grateful for this experience.
