My stay was such an unforgettable and heartwarming experience. the farm and his family are so kind, considerate, and proud to share the Nepali way of life. I learned so many things, from the different kinds of tasks involved in tending to a farm, Nepali culture, and even common phrases. Work is only for a few hours, and they check in with you to make sure you are okay. Then, you have the rest of the day to chill and explore. the farm also provides trekking tours, which I did with them. Truly, I felt cared for and I cannot recommend this experience enough. The farm stay became a home away from home!

I had my second volunteer experience at the farm in Pokhara 🇳🇵, and it was truly unforgettable. the farm Bhai is a very humble and honest person who guided me a lot. I learned gardening and heard many incredible stories from him. I also loved cooking dinner every day 👨‍🍳 and had the chance to join a family ceremony at his brother's home. His family warmly welcomed me and made amazing food. Thank you so much, the farm Bhai 🙏 I really appreciate everything and hope to come back again someday. ❤️

I spent a week and a half with the farm and his family, and it was such a great experience that I ended up coming back for another 2 weeks. It's honestly my favourite place in Nepal, once you're here, it's hard to leave. Working on the farm is really cool, you get to be a part of producing and harvesting the food you eat (which is always delicious!), and learn traditional farming techniques. The family is beyond wonderful, I definitely consider this place a home away from home. The time I spent here will always be a fond memory, and if I'm ever back in Nepal, I'll be staying here again :)

A wonderful experience with the best Nepali family I could have found. From minute 0 I felt at home, and they truly have been, and still are, family to me. the farm is the most dedicated, hardworking, committed, sensitive, and cheerful person in the world. Whatever he does, he always has a smile on his face. I truly admire everything he does and the passion he puts into traditions and into everything he undertakes. His family, as could not be otherwise, is also very warm and wonderful. Hillary, Babu, Didi and all of them are in my heart. I totally recommend becoming part of the farm❤️‍🩹
