Description
Hi, I'm Bikash. I am currently based in Kathmandu and spend my summers in europe traveling in my van. I am an architect by profession who enjoys working on the site as much as designing on a computer screen . Sustainable design and timber construction is what interests me most. I speak English, German, Nepali fluently. I have worked in Germany, Luxembourg and Nepal mainly in housing, renovations, earthquake reconstruction, community driven design which even included a compost toilet and a shephards tent and stove. I know basic carpentry but would love to learn more and also off the grid living. I would like to work under an experienced carpenter/Builder. I want my stay to be a learning experience.
I love the outdoors and roadtrips. I have a van which I converted into a camper and also live/travel in it occasionally. So accomodation is not necessary. Just a place to park and access to the toilet and power supply.
I am easy going and unkompliziert.

some of my DIY projects can be seen at @instagram.com/make.ktm

Bikash is a very friendly and skilled architect who we really liked hosting. He fullfilled all the work he was asked for (mainly craftsmannship and woodwork) independently and with great precision. He is very nice to be around with and we would host him again in the future any time.
PS: He is a very good cook, too.:))

I had a wonderful stay with Anne and Peter. I stayed for two weeks and helped with construction work and learnt a lot. If timber construction is something that interests you then I would definitely recommend it. There is also work relating with animal care and gardening. The location is beautiful with many walking trails nearby. Thank you once… read more

I had a wonderful stay at Stefans. The location is beautiful in the foothills of the german Alps. The atmosphere superchill. Stefan was clear in communicating what needs to be done and you could pick your tasks and also the time. I like this as it never felt like you were obligated to do something. It felt more like hanging out with a friend.

Bikash was with me for 2 weeks of which one we were at a friends place helping him renovate his house. In general Bikash was very self-reliant, clear in his communication and fun to have around. We all appreciated his sense of humor a lot =))
Next to some dirty work on site he helped me with drawing some plans for a small project which was very… read more

Me and my brother enoyed our stay with Martin and Andrew. The space is really cosy and comfortable and the area beautiful, full of forests and lakes. We worked on the final touches of the new artist residence and it was fun working with Martin. He's super chill and the work was easy, mostly painting and helping him finish the new timber… read more

I enjoyed my stay in the ecovillage. There is a colourful mix of residents and volunteers and a variety of tasks to choose from. It is expected that you choose what interests you the most and then work on it, or maybe even start your own if you're staying there long enough. Chris the owner was very helpful and always brimming with ideas. Luciano… read more

Bikash is a very easy going man, very hard worker and with lots of initiative. He is very knowledgeable, very wise, we trusted his opinions and highly valued his ideas. Very brave, he didn't even weaken in the eyes of Irma and helped us to prepare for the hurricane. We wish him the best and hope to see him soon.
