Description
Hello namaste and greeting from Nepal.
Me (Dhurba) my wife (Sarita) and my family live in foothills of Himalayas of Nepal. The village called Kavre. We are farmers; from my forefathers time we farm, grow crops and raise cattle. We have been doing this method in these foothills for 1000 of years, it pass from generation to generation. We grow more the 100 veggie and crop (such as rice, potatoes, mango, peaches, banana, cauliflower, onion, garlic, ginger and mustard!) We have chickens for eggs, cows for milk, one duck and more than 15 goats, including babies. At our house we have two very friendly dogs, Maya and Kale, who turned up looking for a home and we adopted!
The most important thing is that it is away from hectic places and full of nature, animals and amazing people, who know a smile is the universal language and kindness is religion. Here you can enjoy everything organic farming, unity between Hindu Buddhist and Christian, you can interact with true Nepali life, culture peoples and experience what truly is Nepal in local ways. Our door are always open for everyone, you will be part of our family.
We live in a range of 2 hour bus journey from Kathmandu.

Let's be simpler, everyone one was so kind and after more than 2 weeks, I'd like to say that I'm part of Ricky's family.

For the rest you don't really participate in farm life, you give some general help but the 7 dollars a day is a lot compared to other workaways in Nepal and doesn't reflect the work experience.

I stayed for one week with Ricky, Rupa, and their family. Undoubtedly one of the best Workaway experiences I’ve had. The day I arrived, I unknowingly walked into a Holi celebration (the Nepali calendar is one day ahead of the Hindu calendar, and I was coming from India—go figure).

Simply put, I loved my time at Ricky and Rupas, I recommend it unreservedly!
I was treated as part of the family the second I stepped over the doorstep, the entire family is incredibly welcoming and we were invited to numerous celebrations around the village by them.
thanks again to the whole family! :)
