About This Tour

About This Tour

The Nepal Village Walk and Farm Experience takes you out of Kathmandu and into the farming communities that surround the valley — walking through terraced fields, visiting working farms, and meeting the families whose labour feeds Nepal. Depending on the season, you may plant rice seedlings, harvest mustard, thresh wheat, or pick vegetables alongside your hosts.

The experience includes an organic lunch prepared with produce from the farm you visit — dal bhat, seasonal vegetables, pickles, and rice grown in the fields you just walked through. This is not a demonstration farm; it is a real working family farm where your visit and interest provide both income and validation for families who are exploring agri-tourism.
