Rames and his family made my stay an incredible experience. There wasn’t a single moment when I felt uncomfortable, because everyone there is extremely friendly and welcoming. Not many people in the village speak English, but that didn’t stop them from being very warm and welcoming.

His mother is an amazing woman who works hard and cooks incredible food, and I’ve formed what I hope will be a long-lasting friendship with his sister, Rara. The conversation with Rames and the outstanding nature, is the best part!!
I‘m leaving here with many fond memories.
See you all again🤗😝

I spent two weeks with Ramesh and his mother and it was most wonderful. Ramesh is an extremely nice person whom I see as a brother. He made me feel welcomed and made sure that I was well and comfortable. His mother is an extremely sweet person as well who prepared 3 square meals for us everyday, while simultaneously working extremely hard. For me, 14 days felt like 2-3. Although I could not help as much as I would have liked to in farming and animal care, I had a wonderful time helping Ramesh run his tuition. The most memorable part for me was spending time with Ramesh himself.

I could experience an authentic nepali life during the days I spent at Ramesh's the farm. The farm is located in a beautiful hilly area and there is a stunning view just 2min. away. I helped with the animals and to rebuild some ceilings that unfortunately a storm destroyed at the first day I arrived, leaving us without power for some days. His mom is a lovely and strong woman who wakes up to work before sunrise and only stops after sunset, always taking care of us making meals and chiyas. My days over there was peaceful and I enjoyed every single moment. I hope to visit this place again.
