The Experience

We have a farm very near Pokhara valley, where we provide stay for our volunteers. We have chicken, cow, dog, some goats and land for farming. We also grow some vegetables and seasonable crops on our farm. My wife and I live with our two children. Our farm lies in a quiet, spontaneous and beautiful village very near Pokhara Valley. There are hills, rivers, and caves around, so you can go hiking, fishing, swimming and enjoying the gifted nature.

Host was extremely welcoming. Work day was not too strenuous so allowed for time to sit by the river and explore the local area. Work included walking the dog, some planting, cutting grass, shoveling animal poo and feeding goats and cows. Would recommend if you were looking for a quiet get away from Pokhara and wanted to stay with a friendly local Nepalese family.

I had a lovely few days with Tanka and his family. Their hosting was warm and welcoming, and the work, though not difficult, was both educational and fun. There are lots of places to explore around the village. It was truly a great experience!

I stayed 10 days at this farm & felt very welcomed by the whole family. We played lots of games, learned some ukulele and cooked together. The work was fun. I experienced Tanka as a clear, patient instructor. I'm very thankful about everything i learned about the farmlife. Besides that I was able to learn some cooking and new games! My tasks were walking the dog ( which was the biggest challenge to be honest), feeding the animals, help with sudying, cutting grass and special tasks depending on demand and weather. I enjoyed the river, the view and all the butterflies and frogs:) thank you!

My time in the farm was absolutely amazing. The farm itself is located in a quiet mountain part of Pokhara with stunning view and crazy nature and a creak you can go and bath in the farm. I got to do all kinds of work like taking care of the cow and goats and just general things in the farm. And learned so much from my time there. Tanka the host was perfect and we worked together everyday and immediately became very good friends, with him and his beautiful family treating me like one of them I just felt like home and stayed more than planned with no days off at all.
