“An authentic experience amongst nature with wonderful hosts”

Om and Lalita were wonderful hosts, introducing me to Tharu cuisine and (Om) guiding me through the community forest. Om also dropped me at the bus stop the morning I left. On my last night, there was a dust storm and they swept the dust off my bed and shut the windows. I really enjoyed the peace, nature and animals (chickens, ducks and goats). I only saw deer and peacocks in the forest but still enjoyed the walks and scenery. The hut was simple but clean and comfortable. I was worried about not having air conditioning at night (western comforts), but there was a fan and the straw and concrete provided sufficient insulation - I was very warm but able to sleep. It might be hard for the driver to find your homestay as they are all numbered on an unnamed road. It's very bumpy on a tuk tuk too (there weren't any taxis in sight at the bus stop), but it's all part of the adventure! I came from Lumbini and it took ten hours (two buses and a tuk tuk), but I knew I'd be fine as Nepalese people are so kind and helpful. Not once did I have to ask for help.
