Welcome to WWOOF Nepal

“Wwoof Nepal made it possible for us to make great experiences to learn from all varieties of gardening and farming skills through WWOOFing. We are very proud of some of the things we've done and learned and that we got the chance to do so. We feel deeply fascinated for WWOOFing in Nepal which we felt a great way to experience "real" Nepal. We want to thank to WWOOF Nepal Team, as well as all our hosts in Illam. We felt no difference than our family members. We never forget these great Nepalese experiences in our life”.

"Hi WWOOF Nepal team, we have just returned from host from Pokhara. They are fantastic people and treated us like a family members. Please send more volunteers there - they would love to have more."

We are glad to get the support of WWOOFers like Nina and Jörgen here in Nepal. Thank you for your kind words. All Nepali people we have met have been very friendly and welcoming. We got treated like a part of the host family. The work at the kindergarten was from around nine to five. It's perfect for wwoofers who likes children. It felt like we inspired with some new English words. It was good for the teachers too, to practise their English. This wwoofing- experience have been fantastic and the biggest memory from Nepal. We already miss the children and our lovely host family!

My name is Mari- Line and I am from France. After WWOOFING in Syangya, I came to Rukum and did 2 weeks WWOOFING to Rukum. This is also no nice place surrounded with mountain, river and jungles. I have now all the information to give about my volunteering in Rukum, a remote district of Nepal which was one of the active district of 10 years of Maoist war. I had a very good time in this remote area. The family was very joyful and always laughing. It was sometimes a little bit difficult because I was really deep inside a very different culture even though I enjoyed my experiences very much.

I had a wonderful time on the farm in Dhikura, Arghakhanchi. I learned a lot about farming, and about a way of life so different from the one I was accustomed to. The pace was much slower than what I was used to, and at first that was hard for me, but after some time I grew to appreciate it. I was so well fed and taken care of—Pompha put a mosquito net up around my bed when I was being eaten alive in my sleep. I really enjoyed painting the house with fresh clay for the upcoming Dasain festival, planting a potato field, cutting grass, going with Pompha to sell milk in Sandhikharka, and removing all the kernels from piles and piles of dried corn! That gave me blisters so I had to stop, but after a few days I was able to do it again without getting any new blisters.

Krish From America in Nepal from October 2004 to December 2004: I came to Nepal after 8 months of traveling through South East Asia, and it has been so great to meet Fanindra and his family. They have been so welcoming and I have learned so much from my time with them. WWOOFing has been such a good way to meet Nepali people who aren't connected with the tourist industry and to see how people live in rural areas. I was lucky enough to be in Nepal during the festival of Dashain, and I spent this in a small village in the Chitwan area. People treated me like a member of the family, and I met people who will remain dear to me. I have to say it was difficult to leave! Thank you so much to Fanindra and his family who made my experience of WWOOFing in Nepal amazing and unforgettable.
