My girlfriend and I stayed at the home for a week. We had our own private room in the back garden. What we enjoyed most was cooking with Mama and her family. A wonderful group of volunteers formed among us. The work is very simple and involves looking after their 15 goats in the meadow in front of their house. It was one of the most beautiful experiences in all of Nepal! The only improvement that could be made is a softer mattress. Thank you for everything!!! we'll think of you often.

Im in my final week of a month long stay with Saroj and his family. They have all been so wonderful and welcoming. Ive really enjoyed my time at the farm, the goats and dogs were so much fun. Saroj hosts a warm and flexible environment, hes been so great at accommodating to any of my needs and making me feel happy in Nepal. The farm is well situated, so its an easy walk or bike to thamel or any of the major temples and squares. I highly recommend the home

I stayed at the home for a week and I wish I could have stayed for a month! Loved spending time with the other volunteers and exploring Kathmandu together. The location is very nice, the facilities are pretty basic but good and Mama's food is delicious and nourishing. The work is really easy and you have plenty of free time. The yoga classes are fun, really recommend! We had a great bbq night one day too! Thank you Saroj for having me and thanks to the other volunteers for making the time so memorable. Will be back! <3
