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!

Ricky and his family are the most loving and caring family you could ever meet. They welcomed us with open arms and showed us true Nepali culture and their way of living. When we travel to Nepal next time we will definitely try to visit Ricky and his family again.

The three weeks we stayed at the farm with Ricky and his family was far better than we could've expected! They take you in as a family member with open arms and minds to make the stay as good as possible. We got to experience true Nepalese culture while living in this small village close to the locals. We learned about farming and being self sufficient, Nepalese traditions and family values. We were happy that there was around 10 other volunteers at the farm that we spent all days with, forming friendships that made our stay wonderful! If we visit Nepal again we will definitely come back :)

This is truly a magical place. Farm life the farm Himalayas. The family and community are so welcoming. I felt at home very quickly. The work is super reasonable and we worked at a very comfortable pace. The food is yum (mostly veg). I thought I was going to be the only volunteer but there were lots of volunteers there through workaway which was an awesome surprise. This place attracts great people who become as much of your family as the hosts. I loved it so much I'm going to end my Nepal trip back there in a few weeks. Top tier worldpackers. Much love Riky & Rupa ❤️
