  Description

  Welcome to our lodge – where nature, creativity, and community meet
  We’re based right on the banks of the Rapti River in Sauraha, surrounded by jungle, wildlife, and pure village life.
  The lodge is an eco-friendly bamboo retreat that we’re slowly shaping into something very special. The idea is simple: a place where sustainability, creativity, and wellness all come together.
  
  Life here is pretty down-to-earth. Some days you might be up in the tree-top hall for yoga or meditation, other days you’ll cool off in the natural bio pool ( still exploring ), or sit under the stars for live music or outdoor movie. And of course, the real highlight is just being close to Chitwan’s nature and wildlife — which you’ll hear and see all around surrounded .
  
  
  Your Role – Get Involved, Learn & Create
  
  We’re looking for volunteers who are excited to get their hands dirty and also share their ideas.
  A few things you could help with....
  
  Bamboo building & landscaping – building simple eco-structures, shaping the garden, or just adding finishing touches.
  
  Women’s workshops - part of what we’re trying to do here is create small opportunities for women in the nearby villages. We’ve started simple things like candle making, spice mixing, or even making eco-friendly soups and shampoos. It’s nothing fancy, but these little projects give space for local women to learn, share ideas, get creative and make extra income.
  ( Note : For more info please drop us message and we are more then happy to share details. )
  
  
  Creative projects & events – decorating, planning a small event, or even bringing in your own artistic touch.
  ( know you got your creative freedom to explore as well )
  
  Dog training & animal care – our dog Coco ( 3.5 month Pup ) Nala and cat Billy Boy love company, but a bit more of training and care always helps.
  
  Sustainability projects – composting, grey water recycling, or anything eco-friendly you’re into would be much more appreciated.
  
  Handcrafts & details – painting, carving, or just those small things that give the lodge it's charms
  
  Yoga & Wellness – we’re also looking for someone who can share yoga session with us. We’ve got a nice tree-top hall and it would be great to have morning or evening sessions.
  Nothing too serious or strict but just a chance for people here to stretch and relax..
  
  
  Accommodation & Community
  
  Our stay is simple, cozy, and close to nature. We have a four-bed bamboo dormitory and one private room for couples for volunteers.
  We’ve got a few outdoor showers and toilets that everyone shares, so it’s a bit of raw and hippie like community vibe . And the common areas are where people usually hang out,
  Most evenings are pretty laid-back where you can soak in the jungle vibes.
  
  
  Why Volunteer With Us
  
  This isn’t just about staying here. It’s about being part of something that’s still growing.
  Every volunteer leaves a little piece of themselves here like leaving a special mark in house, whether it’s through building, planting, painting, or sharing ideas.
  
  If you’re into nature, art, wellness, or just want to be involved in a hands-on project, you’ll fit right in. For us, it’s about creating a place where people connect, learn, leave with something more than just memories.
  
  NOTE : Before confirming a stay, we like to have a quick call to get to know each other and make sure it feels like a good fit for everyone. We usually do these between Monday to Thursday, 10:00 am – 12:30 pm. Please kindly request us our Calendly link so you can pick a time that works best for you.
