    Description

    Hi ,I am Dipak. I am 20 years old and I am teaching in school ( part time teacher) also continuing physics study. I live with my sister Gita 17 years old.

    We live in a small house situated in a small traditional nepali village, with one cow and a small garden which provide our daily food.

    We are hindus but in the village lives a lot of different community (Rai,Limbu, Rajbanshi...) which lives together and help each others.

    In the house you will experience lots of differents easy works: working in the rice fields, help with the cow, help in cooking, also maintaining the garden (watering).

    This is a perfect place for meditation, walking in the tea garden and rice fields and also learn about nepali culture.
