Experience living in a scenic Nepali village in Pokhara, Nepal

  Description

  Namaste! We are Priyansha and Kushal. Along with our friends, we own a 3 acre farm in the outskirts of Pokhara city, on a hill overlooking Begnas Lake.
  
  We are not farmers but our dream is to create a life away from the city amidst nature, grow our own food and hopefully collaborate with others who are seeking to connect (and disconnect) in the same way.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  As we are just starting out ourselves, you will help us build and design the land according to Permaculture principles. We have both completed our Permaculture Design Course from Aranya Farm (Telangana, India) and working alongside us you will be able to practice permaculture principles and techniques as we learn and implement them.
  
  Besides that, you will experience living in a scenic Nepali village and the culture firsthand along with us and a Tamang family who live on the land.
  
  We are also very close to Pokhara, the valley from where most major trekking routes start and end. There are several lakes, mountain views, hiking and trekking trails, adventure sports among many other things to do once you get here.

  Hébergement

  Accommodation will be provided in tents. We have a couple of spacious tents. You are welcome to bring your own tents or hammocks as well.
  
  We are currently using a compost toilet, and rely on bucket showers. We try our best to use water conservatively, as the water supply is not reliable.
  
  Food is mostly Nepali staple diet consisting of rice, roti, dal, seasonal vegetables, salads and fruits. Meals are primarily vegetarian.
