Witness Organic Farming In The Hills Outside Kathmandu
Immerse yourself in nature and learn about organic farming practices at the Patlekhet Community Homestay in the hills, a short drive from Kathmandu.
The Patlekhet Community Homestay is ideal for travellers seeking a quick weekend break from Kathmandu or who want to continue hiking around the hills and villages just outside the city. About 40 kilometres from Kathmandu, the scenery here is entirely rural. Patlekhet is in the mountains, with views across the high Himalayas in the north and dramatic cultivated farmland.
A major attraction of staying at the Patlekhet Community Homestay is the food. You’ll see where it comes from, growing and living in the village's beautiful landscape, and then you can enjoy eating the pure ingredients in home-cooked meals. You can even learn to cook Nepali dishes by taking a cooking class with your host. A visit to Patlekhet is about reconnecting with nature and appreciating life’s simple pleasures.
