  Description

  Hello Workawayers!
  We are a small family-run hilltop resort in Charikot, Nepal (about 5 hours from Kathmandu), surrounded by peaceful greenery and breathtaking Himalayan views. Our place is known for its calm atmosphere, homemade food from our garden, and a love for nature.
  
  We would love to host a horticulturist (or someone with solid experience in permaculture/organic gardening) who can help us make our vegetable garden thrive. We’re looking for someone who is not only passionate about plants but also has the knowledge to improve soil, design planting, and guide us toward a more self-sustaining garden.

  Hébergement

  You’ll be staying in our family-run hilltop resort. You’ll have your own private room, simple but cozy, with clean beds, hot showers, Wi-Fi (good for staying in touch but not for heavy streaming), and quiet corners for reading or relaxing. We have large gardens and plenty of space to unwind.
  Meals are shared with our staff, mostly homemade Nepali food using fresh vegetables from our garden. We’re happy to cook together, exchange recipes. We bake our bread and make our own jams too.

Our property is on a hill at 2000m altitude. We currently grow Plum trees, Kiwis, Carrots, Pumpkin, Green beans, Cucumbers, Potatoes, Chilly, Bittergourd, Cauliflower, Kale, Roquette, Rosemary, Parsley, Mint, Basil and plenty of flowers in the garden. Our staff have farming knowledge but limited to the food that they eat, local dishes, and are unfamiliar with the vegetables we serve in our international dishes, and also lack experience with separating the sections and rotating the planting to keep the soil healthy. We have plently of grounds that have potential and also two tunnels.
