Description
Hi lovely people - Namaste 🙏
I'm Aashish, a 🌲ree hugger and a dreamer who wants to build a farm retreat for lovely visitors from around the world. I live here with my lovely farm hands Rajesh, Maya and her lovely 3 years old son Ashwin and not to forget my two dogs -Leo, and Coco and some times my family members too.
OUR LOCATION: We are located near an ancient town called Tansen. The town lies nearly 300 KMS west from the capital city- Kathmandu and nearly 4 -5 hours away from the touristy city -Pokhara. And a couple of hours driving distance from Lumbini- the birthplace of Lord Buddha.
TANSEN-THE HISTORIC TOWN: This s☀️nny hill station is a hidden treasure for international and internal tourists, especially those seeking to get indulge to the core Nepali culture. You get to see the ancient houses, temples and the ethnic diversity around the town while exploring the unique food this hill station has to offer. It's also a great hiking paradise. You get a chance to explore the unexplored here.
GETTING HERE: Getting here is relatively easy, an overnight bus bus from Kathmandu will drop you early morning or there are day buses from Kathmandu or Pokhara too. (Please be prepared for a bumpy and tiring journey wherever you go in this country) It's around 5 minutes walk from the dropoff point (Bartung). The close amenities are shops, hospitals, police station, schools and colleges. Everything almost within walking distance, so we prefer muscle power here to move around.
Exchange: We only provide free accommodations for exchange with your 3 hours help per day.
WHAT TO BRING:We also recommend our lovely family members to bring in your personal essentials including toilet rolls, food (you can choose to eat at our restaurant at minimum rates too) water purifiers ( though there is a UV filter installed too), sleeping bags, 🦟 repellants, and so forth .
"Atithi Devo bhawa"
Translate - "guests are god"

Can't wait to see you!

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
This place is the hub for some cultural origins including the Nepali national hat - 'Dhaka topi' and brass pitchers 'karuwa'. Few street festivals , traditional agriculture and so forth are the major attractions for our visitors.
The widest Annapurna Himalayan range can be viewed from the top of the hill, the bottom is a green valley called Madi. The south face of the hill (Tansen) was inhabited by our ancestors, who also built some palaces, temples, wooden and stone handicrafts and most importantly- the smiling community around.
