At Jatra Travels, we bring you an exceptional opportunity to immerse yourself in the authentic village life of Nepal through our carefully crafted Learning Tour. Drawing from our decade-long expertise in the tourism industry and our extensive knowledge of Nepal’s most popular destinations like Annapurna Circuit, Langtang, Everest Region, Upper Mustang, Dolpo, Manaslu, and more, we noticed a fascinating aspect. These destinations, nestled in picturesque villages, retain their traditional charm and have been less influenced by modernity.
During our travels with clients, we observed their curiosity about the day-to-day lives, culture, and traditions of the local people. Their fascination with activities like animal husbandry, farming, drinking water from natural springs, engaging in friendly conversations with neighbors, partaking in community cultural festivals, and playing local games inspired us to initiate this unique plan.
Introducing a first-of-its-kind package in the history of Nepalese tourism, we present an authentic village lifestyle experience in Ramkot Village. Unlike a typical homestay, this tour takes you deeper into the heart of the village. You will be provided with a place to stay, and we will introduce you to a welcoming local family, where you will be encouraged to cooperate with them during your village life adventure. Rest assured, a knowledgeable guide will accompany you throughout.
Your journey into village life commences as you join the locals in farming activities, savoring delectable local foods, conversing with friendly neighbors, assisting those in need, and experiencing the joys of everyday life. You may choose to take a refreshing bath in the tap (optional) and enjoy drinking water from natural springs. Engage in carrying water for cooking and drinking, playing with local children, and caring for domestic animals like cows, goats, and sheep, including tasks such as grazing and dairy cattle management.
While the experience may present challenges, it is both rewarding and eye-opening. You will be amazed at your resilience as you embrace the daily routines of the village. And here’s the best part – your hard work will not go unrewarded. You will receive incentives for your efforts, allowing you to enjoy, live, and even earn during your stay.
We can assure you that this unique package will not only change your perception of life but also transform you as an individual. By the end of your village life experience, you will have gained a profound appreciation for the simplicity and richness of traditional living.
