Stayed 2 weeks with this wonderful family and plan on going back for Christmas as it feels like home! Such a beautiful place to spend time in Nepal, the village is wonderful, family is warm welcoming and very funny and the kids at the school are very sweet. I was mostly doing teaching, which proved to be quite challenging but overall a great experience and farm work, very nice being close to the food source. Couldn't reccommend it enough. Good chicken 🐓 Babu is hilarious 🫶 Thankyou to the whole family!

I spent some days at the farm and it was a really special experience. From the first moment they welcomed me like part of the family, always checking if I was feeling well, enjoying the work and if I had any questions. The tasks were explained with patience, and I always felt included in the daily life of the house. What I liked the most was how authentic it felt, sharing simple moments, talking about life in Nepal and learning about their way of farming and living. I left feeling very grateful and would definitely recomme

If you want to immerse yourself in the local culture i would recommend staying on the farm. the family are so kind and welcoming- you can feel that the house is full of love. there is a real community here. volunteering at the primary school was very eye-opening, i work in education at home but this wasn't like anything i've done before. you will have a class to yourself but with only very small amount of children, you are asked to teach english, maths and science and i would recommend also bringing your own fun activities in addition for the kids:) be openminded. thank you the farm💛

Everyone at the farm was very welcoming! Most of the days the work is nice and not too long. Some days can be longer and harder, but then you get a rest day the day after. Location was also really great: in nature and very quiet, but close to Pokhara (and a good bus connection!). The family is really great, I will miss being there! I also went on a trek with the farm and another volunteer, which was really great!

I highly recommend the farm's farm! I stayed for 3 weeks and it was an insightful, fun and rewarding experience. The whole family was warm and welcoming and really made it feel like home. The work was very enjoyable and different everyday, only taking a couple of hours. I helped with the rice harvest, dug a new terrace, and planted new crops among many other tasks. The house was comfortable and had an incredible view of the sunrise and hot air balloons in the morning. If you're looking for an authentic experience and insight into subsistence farming in Nepal, look no further!
