The farmstay was amazing! The family was lovely and intergrated me in the family since the first day. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. Most of the time I helped with construction on the house, but was never pressured work. I also learned new things, like making Butter or grinding dal. At the evening we often sat at a little camp fire. Over all it was a very nice experience!!

I loved every minute of my time with the farm and his family. I wish I could've spent more time there but I guess that gives me a reason to come back! They are such friendly people. It was an honour to help them with their work on the farm and learn about their culture. It was really refreshing being around the farm, Shankar and the rest of the family and hearing their approach to life. We all just need to relax and enjoy!

My time here was amazing in so many ways. I was never welcomed into a family's house and life with such open arms. I enjoyed getting to know everyone so much. Spending time with Ankits family was exciting, relaxing, horizon-expanding. I learned many things about personal life, culture, religion and of course the farm life. The work was fun and well explained. I had too many amazing memories to share them all. Trying new foods, learning how to make a doko, being invited to the temple, swimming in the river and much more. Im sure I will be back. Thank you for everything!

I spent a wonderful week on this farm. They welcomed me as if I were a member of the family and made me feel at ease right away thanks to their kindness and hospitality. They care a lot about the training of their volunteers, in fact I learned so many things about the local culture and how to work on a farm. I hope to be able to return soon. Thanks for all!🙏🏻 I recommend this type of experience with them to everyone!
