At the home they are a very nice family that makes you feel as if you were at home, the work is easy and you are in contact with nature, I really enjoyed it a lot, especially for their exquisite food, thank you very much to saroj to the sister and to the mom for receiving us in such a warm way in their home 💛

I had a great time at the home. Saroj and his family were all very friendly. The living space is quite simple and you may be moved if another volunteer comes. Bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper as the traffic/animals can be loud at night. I and another volunteer went trekking which was a great experience with a well planned itinerary and clear leadership. There was an issue with communication in the group though and if you are on a budget the cost of convenience is probably not worth it. Overall, I totally recommend this experience, having only slight nitpicks. Thanks a lot Saroj!

I enjoyed my stay at the home! The work was less then expected because of the weather but I didn't mind. We watched the goats for a couple hours a day, they were adorable! The three meals per day were also good! The beds were not the cleanest, but comfortable enough. Thank you Saroj and family for this lovely experience!

Namaste 🙏! I spent 3 amazing months in Nepal 🇳🇵 and truly had such a wonderful time. During my stay, I stayed twice with SAROJ at the home, and I really enjoyed spending time with his family. I even called his mom ‘Mummy’ because she made me feel just like family ❤️. I also absolutely loved all the cute and friendly goats 🐐 and doggy 🐶🐕 there. The peaceful local lifestyle, warm hospitality, and beautiful memories made my Nepal journey even more special. Highly recommended for anyone who would like to experience real Nepali local life and explore around Kathmandu. Thank you so much, Saroj

The home Stay was such an amazing experience—I truly enjoyed every moment there. Saroj and his whole family were incredibly welcoming, making me feel right at home from the very beginning. Every day, they prepared such delicious food, full of warmth and love.
I especially loved taking care of the goats 🐐 and spending time with the adorable dogs 🐶🐕—TIKI 🐶 always stayed right by my side, which made my days even more special.
The location is also beautiful, surrounded by peaceful hills and very close to Swayambhunath Stupa 🐒🪷☸️🕉️, which makes it even more magical.
Thank you so much Saroj.
