At my arrival i was greeted kindly, my room was cozy and we had a nice conversation. His wife was preparing absolutely delicious meals. The food is definitely one of my favorites. Over the course of two month i met many locals and did a few tours. The holistic therapy and yoga sessions where not provided. Towards the end of my stay we had an argument, after asking what i did wrong or what i had done to offend him i got no real answer. After that event the mood changed and the friendship was now worth nothing or non existent. We came to an arrangement in the end. I guess its cool for ashortstay

During my two weeks volunteering in Manish's Hostel. I got to experience many cultural exchanges like the Chhat Festival where I was invited to celebrate with Manish's family and children. I was also introduced to many good Nepali dishes by Manish's wife who is a great cook! In addition, I learned new skills for developing and designing the hostel website as well as working with Manish and Nitsha in their eco-printing workshop. Overall, I recommend to stay in Manish's place if you're interested in volunteering your time and learning new skills while engaging with the local culture at once!

The family welcomed me in a very warm way. I felt taken care of and had a pleasant time. the food was amazing!!! the enviroment inspired me to connect with my creativity, manish is a man that is flowing with ideas. so if you look for a place where you can relax, create and experience a realistic nepalese household, this is the place 🤗

I would definitely recommend staying with Manish and his family. He has an amazing idea for the hostel and we really hope he can get more help from volunteers to get it ready to open! The tasks are easy and you can really manage your own time, the city is nice and you can go for walks around. Loved this experience!
