    House rules

    We welcome guests who are fit to trek and walk, as this property is approximately 30 minutes by walk from the nearest road. We would assist with luggage porters and service boys, however, since this is a traditional farm set deep in remote Himalayan forests, guests are informed that electricity and mobile networks can be erratic.

    We welcome large groups on the farm to participate in earthbag building and permaculture workshops.

    Enjoy the real Himalayas. It can't get any more original.
