I volunteered in the eco village for around 3 weeks and I had no idea what kind of experience I will get from this place, all I had in mind was to experience a village life in mountains but turned out this place had so much more, all the people were so kind including the villagers everyone were very sweet and always smiling. I got to experience a perfect village life by spending most of my time with villagers and kids and experiencing their day to day life. Also I helped them with painting and farming somedays which was so fun, I highly recommended this place !!

I had a really great time in the eco village. I got to experience local life and local customs, it was interesting and I learned a lot. Apart from everyday life, we went on nearby hikes and I also got to experience community bhandara. I really like how Ashish wants to grow this place and what his vision is about the village. Very nice time altogether!

My volunteering journey in the eco village was truly remarkable. I documented the free school, the organic farm, and the gaushala, all of which support the local community. The warm hospitality, delicious food, and the genuine sense of community made this experience unforgettable. the eco village is a hidden treasure in the Himalayas where nature and community thrive together. Highly recommended for a transformative volunteering adventure.

Hola me llamo Santiago, compartí 27 días con Ashish y su familia. La experiencia fue agradable, me hicieron sentir cómodo y estaban presentes para que no me falte nada. La comunicación fue correcta, no hablo Indi y mi ingles no es avanzado pero así y todo uno pudo relacionarse con los integrantes de la familia, compartir una charla agradable con ellos. Ashish es una persona muy agradable, con una gran energia, hemos compartido charlas muy interesantes y en lo personal me han inspirado. Tiene semillas puras que darán grandes frutos guiando y ayudando a grandes personas. la ecovila 🙏🏻💚
