Welcome! Nature, creativity and community, all in one place
Hey, I’m Dharmik. Our lodge sits right on the banks of the Rapti River in Sauraha, with the jungle on one side and village life on the other.
It’s an eco-friendly bamboo retreat that we’re slowly building into something special. The idea is simple: a place where sustainability, creativity and wellness come together.
Life here is pretty down-to-earth. Some mornings start with yoga or meditation in the tree-top hall. On afternoon you can cool off in our natural bio pool (still a work in progress, honestly). Some nights it’s live music or a outdoor movie. But the real highlight is just being this close to Chitwan’s wildlife. You’ll hear it and see it all around you.
What you’d be doing
I’m looking for people who don’t mind getting their hands dirty and like bringing their own ideas. Some things you could help with:
Bamboo building and landscaping: simple eco-structures, shaping the garden, finishing touches
Creative projects and events: decorating, planning a small event, adding your own artistic style. You’ll have real creative freedom here.
Dog training and care: we’ve adopted a few dogs who love company and could use a bit more training. It’s a fun one.
Sustainability projects: composting, grey water recycling, or any eco project you’re into
Handcrafts and details: painting, carving, and the small things that give the place its charm
Yoga and wellness: I’d love someone to run morning or evening sessions in the tree-top hall. Nothing strict, just a chance for everyone to stretch and slow down.
Where you’ll stay
It’s simple, cozy and close to nature. For volunteers we have a 4-bed bamboo dorm and one private room for couples. Showers and toilets are outdoor and shared, so expect a raw, slightly hippie community vibe. People mostly hang out in the common areas, and evenings are usually laid-back, just soaking in the jungle sounds.
Why come here
This isn’t just a place to stay. You’d be part of something that’s still growing. Everyone who volunteers here leaves their mark, whether that’s something they built, planted, painted or just an idea that stuck.
If you’re into nature, art, wellness, or you just want a hands-on project, I think you’ll fit right in. What I care about most is making a place where people connect, learn something, and leave with more than just memories.
Before you come
Before confirming a stay, I like to have a quick call so we can get to know each other and make sure it’s a good fit for everyone. Calls are Monday to Thursday, 10:00 am to 12:30 pm (Nepal time). Just message me and I’ll send you my Calendly link so you can pick a time that works for you. -

Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje
You’ll be living with our Nepali team and travellers from all over the world. You can pick up bamboo building and some sustainable living skills, swap recipes and stories, and get a real feel for village life right next to the jungle. There’s plenty of free time too, for jungle walks, spotting wildlife, and evenings with music and movies.

We're building a bamboo eco-lodge in Sauraha, and honestly every volunteer ends up shaping it in some way. Tell me what you enjoy and I'll plan your week around it. I like to mix hands-on work with creative and social stuff so the days don't get repetitive.
Bamboo building and furniture: put up simple eco-structures, make or fix furniture, and add the finishing touches.
Landscaping and gardens: shape the riverside, plant green spaces, and help with composting and other eco projects.
Community host: welcome backpackers, get people talking to each other, and make everyone feel at home here.
Backpacker events: movie nights, open mics, karaoke and whatever else you can think of. I'm always up for new ideas.
Food exchange: cook something from home, learn some Nepali dishes, and help put together tasting nights.
Social media and content: shoot photos and videos of lodge life, and share our events and food nights online.
Yoga: run morning or evening sessions in the treetop hall. If you're a certified teacher, tell me a bit about your background so we can plan your schedule.
Dogs and creative projects: help look after and train our rescue dogs, or paint, decorate and make things for the place.
You don't have to do everything. Pick what fits you, and we'll sort out your role together on a quick call before you arrive. -

Where you’ll stay
Volunteers get their own dorm with four bamboo beds. It’s shared, so you’ll get to know the other volunteers pretty quickly, and that’s usually the best part.
You’ll share the bathrooms and common areas with everyone else. Three meals a day are included, all cooked fresh with local ingredients, so you’ll get proper home-style Nepali food while you’re here. -
Algo más...
Chitwan is honestly one of the best places in Nepal if you love wildlife. It’s forests and grasslands, with the Himalayas showing up in the distance on clear days. It’s also a real conservation success story. The area has recovered so well that rhinos, crocodiles and loads of resident and migratory birds are thriving here. As a wildlife photographer, I’m still out there most of the time and it never gets old.
On your days off, there’s plenty to do. Go on jungle walks, look for wildlife, or go birdwatching. You can also visit the crocodile breeding center at Kasara or the elephant breeding center at Khorsor. If you want something more adventurous, try canoeing, jungle hikes, cycling out to the lakes, trekking in the Chitwan hills, or spending a night in a watchtower in the forest.
Whether you want to chill, explore, or just get inspired by nature, you’ll find something here. Come volunteer, recharge, and take home some good stories. -

Coco, Nala, NoNo ,
Meet our furry family! Coco is a playful 3.5-month-old pup, while Nala and Nono, both 7-year-old rescues, are sweet and loving companions. Billy, our adventurous cat, has been backpacking for the past 3 months, but we’re hoping he’ll be back soon!

We’d be happy to host her again and would definitely recommend her to other hosts.
Dharmik was very kind and helpful with anything i needed and everything was as described in his profile. I stayed for 2 weeks and I was working at the cafe or the garden, depending where they needed more support. All the staff was kind and friendly.

We'd like to start by explaining why we're leaving 4 stars instead of 5. The reason is simply that it felt more like a job than a volunteer experience. We worked around 25 hours a week, and the work was mostly very physical … read more
