7-Day Lamjung Homestay Retreat with Gurung Village Life

Your journey begins with a scenic 5-6 hour drive from Kathmandu into the hills of Lamjung. On arrival, you will receive a warm welcome from your host family. Settle into your room, enjoy a cup of Nepali tea, and begin soaking in the peaceful atmosphere of your new home.

After a home-cooked breakfast, your host will guide you on a walk through the village. See the traditional stone houses, visit the local school, and meet other members of the community. In the afternoon, you can choose to take part in a daily household activity, such as helping in the vegetable garden or learning the art of preparing dal bhat.

Today, we embark on a gentle day hike through lush forests and terraced fields to a nearby viewpoint. The trail offers a beautiful glimpse into the local landscape and rewards you with even more spectacular panoramic views of the surrounding Himalayan peaks. Enjoy a packed lunch amidst the stunning scenery before hiking back to the homestay.

This day is yours to truly unwind and embrace the slow pace of the retreat. You can choose to read a book on the porch, meditate with the mountains as your backdrop, practice your photography, or simply sit and watch the rhythm of village life unfold around you.

Spend the morning learning about the local agriculture as you walk through the vibrant green rice paddies. In the afternoon, you might see local villagers weaving traditional baskets or textiles. This evening, enjoy a special farewell dinner with your host family, sharing stories and celebrating the connections you have made.

After a final breakfast and heartfelt goodbyes with your host family, we begin the drive back towards Kathmandu. The journey offers one last chance to enjoy the beautiful hill scenery of Nepal. You will arrive back in Kathmandu in the late afternoon and be transferred to your hotel.

This marks the end of your homestay retreat experience. You can now continue with your onward travels.
