  Beschreibung

  Ready to learn about the Nepali culture? Want to take part in a wholesome experience and help us make a postive change for a brighter and sustainable future? Live as community inside a travelers hub.
  
  Edit** We’ve just introduced 4 new volunteer roles to help grow our vision. Please read the role descriptions below and let us know which one you'd like to focus on.
  
  ABOUT
  
  🏡 We started this project in June 2024. We are currently building an organic farm that will also serve as an education center, teaching locals and travelers about permaculture, sustainable living, and environmental awareness.
  
  🤝 This project is community-based and locally run. We are offering regular employment opportunities for locals and working to promote food security and self-reliance in Nepal.
  
  🌾 We believe in Nepal’s rich agricultural heritage and want to help reconnect our youth to the land. Today, too many Nepalis are forced to move abroad for work, while much of our food is imported. We're here to change that — seed by seed.
  
  🌿 In the future, we hope to host retreats, camps, and workshops that bring people together through farming, cultural exchange, and meaningful hands-on experiences.
  
  🌟 Join us in shaping a brighter, greener future for Nepal. Your support will initiate a ripple effect that extends beyond the project.
  
  📅 We ask for a minimum stay of 2 weeks so you can fully immerse yourself and make a real impact.

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  🏛️ Bhaktapur is Nepal’s most culturally rich and well preserved cities, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that feels like stepping back in time. Known as the "City of Devotees", it’s famous for its temples, woodwork, traditional architecture and culture.
  
  🧬 This ancient city is the heart of the Newa community, one of the oldest ethnic groups in the Kathmandu Valley. You'll discover a distinct language, cuisine, festivals, and customs that make Bhaktapur truly unique.
  
  🚶 Wander through winding brick alleys, watch artisans making pottery or carving wood by hand, and witness daily rituals that have remained unchanged for generations. Every stone has a story.
  
  🧑‍🌾 (Bishwo) was born and raised here, and we love sharing the city and its spirit with travelers. As part of your stay, you’ll connect with locals through our active community projects, charity work, and partnerships with small businesses.
  
  🍲 Our team can teach you a few Nepali phrases and how to prepare our national dish, Dal Bhat — a daily tradition in every household!
  
  🎉 Throughout the year, Bhaktapur bursts into life with incredible festivals, some lasting a day, others up to 10. These vibrant celebrations include music, dance, processions, and ancient rituals. We always encourage you to experience them, and our schedule at the farm may shift slightly so we can all take part too!
  
  🧭 Whether you're staying for a short visit or a longer journey, we’re happy to offer personal tips and travel advice to help you explore other parts of Nepal 🇳🇵

  Before you embark 🌎 🇳🇵
  Nepal is a developing country. We love to say welcome to Nepal, its an exciting and completely different life to maybe the one you are used to. A few things to consider before embarking on this adventurous journey... the wether in Nepal changes drastically, from the hot and wet monsoon season, to the dry cold winters, each season has its perks, but, (like all places in Nepal) we don't have heating and cooling systems, but we have extra blankets, fans in the rooms, a movie room for those rainy days and a cosy fire outside. There are power cuts (sometimes) usually it will come back on after 1 hour. Our water supply also gets delivered once a month, please be very mindful when using the water. Sometimes the water can run out and we need to wait to re-fill the tanks.

  Dieser Host verlangt Gebühren

  mehr dazu

  Warum erlaubt Workaway manchen Gastgebern, eine Gebühr zu verlangen?

  
  

  Workaway bietet Möglichkeiten für einen nicht-monetären kulturellen Austausch, bei dem Gastgeber Workawayern im Gegenzug für ihre Hilfe Verpflegung und eine Unterkunft zur Verfügung stellen. In einigen Ausnahmefällen kann eine kleine Gebühr/Spende (in der Regel nicht mehr als 5 Dollar pro Tag) an Gastgeber genehmigt werden, z. B. für registrierte Wohltätigkeitsorganisationen, die in der Vergangenheit viele positive Rückmeldungen von Volunteers erhalten haben. Jegliche Gebühren müssen direkt an die Wohltätigkeitsorganisation gehen und dürfen nur zur Deckung der Verpflegungskosten für die Volunteers verwendet werden. Dies wird im Angebot des Gastgebers deutlich gekennzeichnet.
  

  Angebote von Vertretern, „Mittelsmännern“ oder Projekten, die den Anschein erwecken, Profit aus dem Aufenthalt eines Volunteers zu schlagen, sind strengstens verboten. Jegliche Gebühren müssen im Voraus mit dem Workaway-Team besprochen und von diesem genehmigt werden.
