Description
We have been developing a big organic and herbal farm in rural setting at close Sukranager village which is 170 km far away from capital city Kathmandu. The village is one of the riches village in Chitwan in term of wildlife, different culture and sports located in the adjacent of Royal Chitwan National Park which park is quite famous for one-horn rhinos, elephant, royal Bengal, tiger, chital, barking dear, ghorial crocodile, along with hundreds of varieties of birds. This village is also native to indigenous people known as Tharus; you will have opportunity to observe their culture, tradition and way of living which is very simplistic in nature.
Our vision is to create a sustainable organic and herbal farm and to introduce a growing number of people to sustainable and law impact living. We have some domestic animals like buffalo, cows, ox and goat. We use our own product tea, rice, wheat, vegetable, fruit, milk, ghee and herbal medicine.
We have the project also to make a children research center in the farm for teach english and environmental to children.
We need some volunteers, local residents, guest and travellers working to help us for developing this farm and preserving the customs, traditions and environmental of the local area and live and work with nature.

I had a great time in Eco Park! Bishnu asked me in the first night there what I'd like to contribute with. I ended up just participating in the daily farm work, and th spontaneous, fun projects that popped up along the way. The balance between work and rest is perfect, sometimes you work hard for an hour, but then you get a good three hour rest,… read more

Bishnu and friends and family are so warm and welcoming it’s rediculous. I had an amazing time at the Eco-Park and I met some amazing people. We did everything; from doing service for community centered events, learned a bit about farming, to chillin hard around a bonfire having deep, soulful talks. The energy and love at that farm is tremendous.… read more

I had a great time at the farm with all the other volunteers! There's not a lot of work, really good food, and a lot of time for relaxing. Bishnu is a great host and the work he does for the environment is amazing. He also organized a walking safari in Chitwan for us, and everything went perfectly. Thank you for everything!
