I stayed at the home for 15 days and I truly enjoyed. Saroj and his family are incredibly welcoming. The homemade food is amazing and Mama cooks with lots of love for everyone in the house. I got the experience to try but also make some Nepali food like Momos. I had a shared room with other volunteers that despite it was winter looks of blankets provided to make it warm and suitable for us.They also offered free laundry service which it's extremely convenient. On Mondays you get to go to a temple where is good music and super tasty food. Give it a try to the free yoga lessons. 100%recom

We enjoyed our one-week stay at the home and we learnt about permaculture working for 2hours/day in the farm. We also met a lot of international travellers there. Saroj and his family are very friendly and his mom cooks amazing food.

Saroj and his family were very friendly and welcoming. Projects vary depending on what is needed (during my time, I got to help build/expand the animal shed and lay concrete!) It was great connecting with the group of other travelers, too. We had lots of free time, and plenty to do in the area, including the free yoga class up the road. The farm is close to Monkey temple, and the touristy area of Thamel is a short ride or ~45 minute walk away. It's a great way to see Kathmandu while being a little way out of the bustling city! PS: if you come in the winter, pack a jacket for chilly evenings!

Saroj and his family are wonderful and will always take good care of you, if you're feeling a bit sick, they will prepare you a good ginger tea on the spot to help you! Since it wasn't the best period for gardening, we didn't da lot, but we had some paint works in the house. there is free yoga courses near the house and the Monday is the temple day, Saroj will take you there if you want it's very nice to experiment :)

Saroj and his family are amazing, they will always look out for you and serve you good meal ❤️ We didn't da lot of work but then we really had the time to discover Kathmandu. Saroj can give you a lot of advices for places to visit and the best way to go there. The tasks that we did were mostly in the garden to help prepare the ground and plant new seeds, we also learned how to milk a cow and washed the goats! During our stay, we also met a lot of other travelers which was pretty nice to share experiences. Also, don't miss out on the free yoga classes, the teacher is really great!

We had the most memorable 2 weeks living and working with Saroj and his family. From the very first night when he whisked us away to a local festival, to the evenings learning about Nepal over dinner, and the fun times in the kitchen with "Mama." Because of the monsoon season there wasn't a ton to do on the farm, but we really enjoyed helping in the kitchen, and learned a bunch of new recipes! Our room was spacious, and their place is really conveniently located for getting anywhere in the Kathmandu area. We went into town or out to a National Park or heritage site almost every day. Thank you

We had an incredible time at the home! Saroj and his whole family were so kind and welcoming. Working in the garden and the kitchen were fantastic learning experiences. Saroj always connected our jobs back to the culture and the lifestyle in Kathmandu. He helped teach us some Nepali too! We also had such fascinating conversations with Saroj and the other volunteers about their background and experiences. These are memories that I will cherish for a lifetime!
