Additionally the meals will always be simple home made organic typical nepali and vegetarian/vegan. We make an effort to provide with our own garden produced fresh vegetables like Potatoes, Green vegetables so on.We are always happy to answer your interest. As such we also hope you will be a respectful volunteer who also show interest in tea, our culture and our lifestyle during the volunteering period.
The daily schedule varies depends on the season. But basically our dal bhat (Nepali meal) around 10:00-10:30 am before that usually after 8 am tea is available. Then the work is from around 11:30 am - 2:30 pm. Then it is free to do what you want. Then at evening the dal bhat is around 7:00 pm - 7:30 pm. Our nepali bedtime is around 9:00 pm-9:30pm.
Sunday and Thursday are day offs. There is a local Market on Thursday which you can visit to see the local product. You can always explore the villages around at those time or you can visit some tea factory.
As we have said before we hope you will respect our nepali society rules, culture and tradition. We are very open to learn new thing within our norms but if there will be some issues we will let you know and hope for your understanding.
