At Lemon Agro Farm, we bridge authentic rural farm life with Himalayan adventure. Rather than navigating commercial travel agencies that charge steep markups, we connect travelers, guests, and volunteers directly with trusted, licensed local mountain guides from our own community.
As our Trek & Trip Route Planner, you will collaborate with our travel coordination team in Fulbari, Pokhara. You will help research, map, and document non-commercial trekking itineraries (such as the Mardi Himal ridge, Annapurna Base Camp, and scenic local trails), assist incoming guests and volunteers with packing checklists and trail logistics, and share practical hiking advice.
In exchange, you will live with our multi-generational Nepali family, enjoy three fresh organic meals straight from our garden every day, and receive complete, one-on-one trek planning, route consulting, and local guide connections for your own Himalayan adventures at direct local cost.
