The Experience
We live in a small village which is northeast of Kathmandu valley. Our village was completely destroyed in the 2015 earthquake. We are living in a village for 1000 years practicing farming passing from generation to generation. We produce mostly what we eat. Our village is 40 km away from Kathmandu and 2 bus ride to reach here from Kathmandu. We have chicken cow goat duck dogs. If you love animals children and nature, this is the place!

This was an amazing experience. The family goes out of their way to welcome you and make you feel like family. The work can be strenuous at times, but it's only for a couple of hours at a time. Your volunteering definitely has an impact here. Lots of time to explore, share time with fellow volunteers, and learn about local culture. Lots of laughter, too, and interesting conversations! I loved staying with the extended family and appreciated their caring, curiosity, thoughtfulness, insight, and tasty food (right from the gardens).

I stayed on Rikki's family farm for four weeks, the farm end, it still wasn't long enough. The whole family is very welcoming, the farm food is tasty and freshly cooked every day, often with ingredients we harvested from the farm. The accommodation is really good, with comfortable beds and a bathroom in every room, all with Western toilets. I learned a lot about Nepalese farming, for example, harvesting rice and potatoes or planting garlic. In everyday life, you also have a great opportunity to learn more about Nepalese culture.

This volunteer experience is one of those that truly leaves a mark on your life, because it creates such strong bonds. I'm so grateful to Rikesh for opening his home to me. His mother and father (Mero Didi, Dai)are incredibly special people, his wife and son are wonderful, and I'll never forget his brother and his wife. Besides the beautiful farm, I learned so much for my future. They provided delicious food, a lovely place to sleep, and an incredible view of the Himalayas. There are also so many other places to visit the farm area. I long to return someday. With love, Pneuma पानी

To be honest, one week wasn't enough for staying at the farm but unfortunately I had already other plans and couldn't extend my stay. Everything was perfect , especially the food. I can't thank the family enough for their hospitality and their kindness. Big shoutout for the wedding ceremony, which I enjoyed very much :) I will definetely come back one day !
