Homestays are one of the greatest experiences of the Nepal culture.

Homestays are incomplete without authentic and organic food. You can also volunteer as visitors where you are usually taught how to make gundruk (fermented greens) or chhang (local beer), thus food is associated with Nepalese tradition and day to day activity.

One of the best Nepal homestays is the food experience and the way they manufacture and cook. There is a very different and traditional way to prepare and make the cuisines. Visitors usually participate in cooking some ancient recipes, such as the one that is based on millet or buckwheat entitled as a dhido, or the freshly grinded elements of a pickle, also known as achar, with wild herbs. Doing this, it makes them used to with the living style of Nepali people. These are not only nutritious but symbolic as well much of the food relates to festivals or festivities based on seasons depicting the ancient Nepalese tradition and culture. It is a very different and unique adventure that accompanies your mountain activities with the lively Nepalese tradition and authentic stay.

For all the visitors, Nepal is a religious hub.  The world renowned Lumbini (Lord Buddha’s birthplace), Pashupatinath Temple, Boudhanath, Syambhunath, Muktinath and many more provides you the exciting and religious importance for the people dwelling in the Nepalese society.
