  Description

  Hello workawayers. My name is Lokesh. I am from Deumai Municipality ward-03, located in the far eastern side of Nepal. I live with my mother and father. Basically we are farmers having cattle and also we plant different types of crops like tea, corn, potatoes etc. we produce milk and sell it to the local market. Tea leaves are sold to the local factory and we feed other crops to us and also our cattles. We are a simple family while love to work in our farm and have a decent meal and sleep on time. We also like to share our culture and living style among the world and show our natural beauty of our place.
  
  For those seeking village life experience with adequate amount of modern world facilities, we can provide diverse opportunities.The region is also known for its flourishing tea farms, offering opportunities in agriculture and tea production.
