I had a GREAT experience at Horizon Homestay! You really feel like home here. Dhani and his wife Janaki fix everything you need and their children Abhi and Deepa are eager to help with anything you might wonder or need as well. Everyone always with a big smile on their faces. Nice breakfast with tea and for a reasonable price you are more than welcome to join for traditional tasty Dal Bhat with the lovely family. You can also buy beer there which can be nice if you arrive after a long day in the mountains :) Also very helpful in getting around the village with whatever you might need. A clean and spacey room with two nice beds, private shower and western toilet. A highly recommend! Next time in Nepal I will come back for sure! :D

A very nice home with good beds and shower, and a nice rooftop space to relax. Wonderful service and company

Dhani and family were wonderful hosts, making me feel at home every for a short time. Tansen is a beautiful place, and the view from Horizon homestay cannot be beaten.

Very welcoming and kind family, with clean rooms and an amazing view over Tansen. Mr Danishwar Bashyal personally took us for a hike the next morning to see the sun rise over the Himalayas, and have us plenty of recommendations for the rest of our trip.

Wonderful, helpful hosts!

Owners go out of their way to help you. Really appreciated.

If you plan to stop over in Tansen then this is definitely the place to stay. Be prepared to share the home of an extremely kind Nepalese family. Very good Dahl Bat Highly recommend

Een perfecte plaats voor een tussenstop tussen bijvoorbeeld Pokhara en Bardia Nationaal Park of Lumbini. Je wordt hartelijk ontvangen door de gastvrije familie. De kamers zijn schoon. Vanaf het terras heb je een prachtig uitzicht op de vallei en de bergen. Ook kreeg ik goede tips voor enkele activiteiten in de omgeving. Erg gezellig om samen met de familie te eten. Een aanrader om hier te verblijven voor enkele nachten!

First left my hometown November 2013....& this has been the BEST airbnb stay so far!!! Everything was perfect..our hosts, the food :) , the location & the local people. The meals were never ending & so delicious. Even on arrival (about 230pm) there was a meal there just in case I was hungry (& I was). They even pack a scrumptious lunch pack on the early morning departure. This place is an easy stopover between Pokhara & Chitwan (or visa-versa). The stay was only 4 nights but could have easily stayed another 4. All 3 meals are included & snacks throughout the day ;) ;) ...we actually missed lunch a few time because of over eating at breakfast. They are so helpful for organizing things for you & are a wealth of knowledge...... We are planning on going back as we met the local school principal who offered us volunteer teaching positions. The local students are so keen to learn & interact with foreigners. I truly wish the guys every success in the farmstay venture.. Once again thank you for the experience, you have opened our eyes to the our usual "concrete urban hotel" stays...unfortunately we didn't meet Sakar, but the farm team we met exceeded all our expectation....see you again!!

We are two girls from Germany travelling through Nepal. On our way from Pokhara to Lumbini we stayed for a couple of nights at the Srijana Farm. After some days of trekking and busy Pokhara we were looking for a cosy and relaxed place. We found exactly what we were looking for at the Srijana Farm. A relaxed and very heartily atmosphere. The guys from the farm were the best hosts we have experienced during our trip. They prepared amazing dishes by using all their locally and organic vegetables, fruits and grains. The meals where more like 5 star restaurant style! And they even showed us how to cook some of their traditional and tasty dishes. They also took us around and explained the life on a farm and some other interesting facts about the life in Nepal. The room we stayed in was very clean and cosy. And it was a great experience to stay in a traditional mudhouse. We wish the guys all the best for their farm and their future plans. And we can recommend this place to anyone who likes to stay in the nature, learn about farming, local products and likes cosy evenings at the fire.

Sakar and the guys on the farm were ideal hosts. We are three friends from London who are living and working in Nepal for 2 months and after staying in Kathmandu for a month, it was a real treat to get out of the city and into nature and the farm was a perfect escape. When we arrived, we were greeted by friendly staff and whisked off to explore the land, visit the goats and cows and climb down the valley into a beautiful and secluded paddy field and spent the afternoon by a very lovely stream. The food was mainly local or home grown and we really enjoyed a barbecue overlooking the valley. The views were stunning, the company was wonderful and the facilities were very comfortable. Staying at the farm was a great opportunity to chill out, but our hosts were also very informative about the produce and livestock that they raise there and it was nice to learn a bit more about what keeping a farm entails. Srijana is also relatively easy to use as a base - we had a one day trip to Limbu to visit Buddha's birthplace - other trips could include going to Rani Mahal or visiting Tansen (but it was just too lovely on the farm to want to go anywhere else). It was an incredible experience to live in a packed earth Nepali house and we would thoroughly recommend staying at Srijana for anyone visiting Nepal.

I absolutely loved my stay at the farm. It was one of the most relaxing, comfortable and rewarding experiences I had at the farm. The staff is so friendly and accomodating. And the FOOD! Amazing, especially with all the fresh and local ingredients. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the farmhouse itself feels so cozy. I enjoyed being able to wander around the farm seeing all the work that goes on, and its easy to do little hikes in the nearby foothills. This is a great stop for anyone heading between Pokhara and Lumbini. I wrote an entire blog post about my stay if you're interested in reading more about my experience: (URL HIDDEN)

the farm was a haven of peace amidst the touristy feel of pokhara and the dense city rush of kathmandu. you can spend the whole day relaxing outdoors, in a hammock under a nice pavillion (this is also where we ate all our meals). Our main host was amar dai and he is great. The hosts gave us a towel and ample bedding. the sinks and bathrooms are in a separate building. you can take your pick of squat or sit toilets. the shower water runs cold, but the hosts will boil a bucket of water for you if you'd like warm showers! If you need anything, just ask, the hosts will most likely provide it :) there is also REALLY RELIABLE wifi. the location of the farm is a bit out of the way from your average tourist attraction or main highway, but after we got to Bartung/Tansen by bus, our hosts arranged the rest of our travel to the farm. the whole experience was really the most worry-free out of all my travels.

Staying at Srijana farm was my favorite part of traveling through Nepal, by far. A welcome break from being a slightly confused and rushed tourist. I ended up staying there three nights in total. I'll first say our host were sincere and helpful and down to chat about an anything from farming to unicode :) And secondly, everything I ate was incredible -- fresh cow milk, coffee from trees on the property, homemade rice wine, homemade cheese and paneer, and of course, delicious assortments of rice and curry ;) There was meat, to, as fresh as you can get it (none for me, being vegetarian, but I even was tempted! D:) The house was a beautiful old house, a mud house! Truly a aesthetically rustic experience -- but there was electricity and internet and thick warm blankets when it got chilly at night, so we were left wanting for nothing. The view never got old, we spent (almost) one entire day laying around on hammock and on cushions in an open air wood pavilion. We also got a tour of the farm, learned about goat breeding, met baby goats, and ambled through paths in the neighboring hills. Both evenings we drank rice wine by an outdoor fire! The other day we took a 3 hour hike down to Rani Mahal, which I recommend because the hike its self is beautiful, as was the river at our destination, but don't get to excited by the slightly underwhelming Rani Mahal ;) Amar also packed us a picnic lunch before we left. My only warning -- being in the midst of lush, jungle means there are /a lot/ of bugs. None of them bit or bothered me, however ^^ And showers are cold unless you take them in the middle of the day, because the water is sun heated! Hmm... I suppose that's all.

If there is only one thing you can do in Nepal, it must be to visit the Srijana Farm. Bissnu and Amar are such wonderful hosts exhibiting a kindness found in many Nepali people. Both of these men are extraordinary in their understanding of international guests. Our three days there were the best of 14 days in Nepal. Hiking, reading in the hammocks, sitting around the fire talking, and eating fabulous food while learning of the villages, farming and community life, and being in the gorgeous mountains made our visit what I will remember most of our travels.

Lumbini House is lokated in a quiet place even it's not far from the main street. They provided free taxi pickup from immigration office and to return back to India, they organized an indian taxi with pickup at the hotel for a reasonable price. The welcome in the hotel and the staff was very friendly, they try to fulfill the guests wishes. The room and bath where clean; hot water was only slightly warm, very nice soft bed!,the A/C can be used as heating as long there is electricity available, for this option we where very thankful, because of cold temperature, wifi only on groundfloor available, not in the room - sometimes it didn't work, due to the national telecom, which is embarrassing all hotels of the region. The staff tried to fix the problems so far they could. The food in the family restaurant was tasty and fresh, but it was cold - we had to wear our jackets. It was a good stay and we would book the place again - thanks.

This hotel is worth the price to stay. It is a walk away from the fewa lake & the lakeside bazaar which is very convenient. It comes with breakfast but the kitchen took a long time to prepare it while we are in a hurry to catch the van. For those who are traveling with large luggage, there's only staircase to walk up to your room however they are very helpful to carry the luggage to your room. The best part of the stay is that the rooftop provides a very clear view of the Annapurna Himalaya Range, what else shall I say =)

This was the best trip I have ever been on. The family made feel like one of their own. Wonderful people, wonderful food, best trip ever. highly reccomended

It's been a warm and lovely experience to stay with Rabindra and Dar Kumari. Watching Dar Kumari cook is one of my favorite activity during my stay here. You will always have a warm stomach despite the temperature is very chilling now, aside from warm heart :) Rabindra house is close to school, u may visit the school children, join their football game or valley ball game after the school. If u like trekking, then Panchasee may be of ur favor. Btw, simply enjoy the scenery and the lovely stay with Dar Kumari can be very rejuvenating, to the heart, mind, soul.

Staying in Damdame with "Ama" and her family was an outstanding experience. We have had Chance to live in a traditional "Gurung" house. Electricity cuts are long...but actually there is not much you can do with power besides charging your mobile/photo batterie. Villagers in Damdame get up at sunrise & sit together at the kitchen fire before sunset. If you ask for hot water for shower, Ama's family will boil some for their guests. We truely loved our stay, we felt very welcomed, we loved (& miss) the food, that is the best we had on our Nepal trip. We will come back. Thank you for these days!!!

It was a great experience!! Rabindra and his family was so nice and kind. Also neighbour girls Babita and Benita are great guides. At dinner, they cooked curry rice and ginger potato for us and it was delicious. Would definitely suggest to experience village life at least a day in your visit to Pokhara.

A wonderful experience overall, getting away from being a tourist to seeing real Nepali village life. Rabindra arranged for me to travel from Pokhara on the local bus with him and his mother most of the way to the village. The last part was a steep uphill walk for a bit over an hour, he carried my main pack which helped, but the advice of only bringing essentials is wise. Food and accommodation were basic but good. Wandering around the village houses and gardens is fascinating, there is so much to see, such as almost every house having beehives, sometimes built into the mud brick walls. Unfortunately I was only able to stay for 2 nights, I spent my one full day on a very long walk to the top of the nearby mountain Panchase, I would only recommend this if you are familiar with trekking and finding your way around with limited information, however for me it was a great adventure. I would recommend staying at least 3 nights. I shared a jeep ride back to Pokhara, this was faster, but possibly less comfortable than the bus.

My mom and I had a really magical experience on top of the hill. The hosts were really friendly and the food was great. I recommend talking walk further up the mountain till you reach the river to swim in. All in all it was a great experience. Just a note, there may be a bit of hiking to get there on the first day, so just be ready for it. You can also continue to Panchase from Damdame village if you keen.

Super sweet family and just a really great adventure :-)

The road where the bus normally goes was broken due to monsoon rain so Rabindra the host came all the way down to Pokhara to meet us and accompanied us back to his house (this involved a 1 hour bus ride and a one hour hike up/down a mountain) . Rabindras family was very welcoming. His Mum especially, despite speaking hardly any english made us extremely welcome and looked after us like part of the family. She always made sure we had more than enough of her delicious traditional homemade food to eat and readily shared her lifestyle with us. Dar Kumari is a very loving and warm lady....Thankyou so much

Adam Tribe has vista views of Himalayas. You can think of it as a place where Thoreau would have loved to live if he had not found Walden. The accommodation is basic but it manages to refurbish ones all senses. Considering the fact it is miles away from a major city, our expectation for food was minimal. I had read in previous reviews that Fathima is a great cook, but I did not think she can do much in middle of the winter. Boy was I wrong! Fresh Buffalo milk and cream, honey, vegetables from the green house, and rice that was harvested previous season; our meals were sourced fresh from their land. Fathima and Rooz have managed to combine the eastern resourcefulness with western sensibility. All I can say is that we are still talking about the food we had at Adam Tribe. Both Rooz and Fathima were gracious hosts and spent their free time showing us around. They did everything in their power to make our stay enjoyable. We stayed for only 2 days but I wish we could stay longer.

Our group of 5 arrived mid afternoon, welcomed and given our shared rooms. Our group not being new to Nepal quickly realized a room this style anywhere in Nepal should only cost 20% of what we where charged. Although, we wouldn't of minded paying the price if some sort of short living of the grid guided farm tour would of been included. Food was fantastic and prices where acceptable. After a early dinner we asked if there was a campfire planned for the night. With no indication or warning I did not expect to find 'fire' on the bill the next morning. All things considered, Rooz and Fatima are lovely, peaceful & welcoming host & we wish them great success with their farm.

Adam Tribe is an amazing Nature Experience - with the Potential of showing You how Human Beings can be in Harmony - with he Elements - Fire, Water, Earth & Air - with the Spirits of Mountains, Jungle and Garden Plants, with the Animals of the Wild, as those closely attending Mankind. Rooz and Fatima are doing a great Job - obviously devoted with Heart and Soul to all Living Beings connected to this beautiful Mountain Place - creating a Connection from traditional Culture to a possible Paradise Here and Now - very open to share this Abundance with their tribal Guests. Simplicity is the Comfort and Radiance the Luxury of this Place. The Houses are built from Earth and Wood, warmed by Sun and Fire - delicious Food comes directly from the wild Garden - and Water of highest Clarity flows from the Womb of the Mountain. All this is ready to - be enjoyed - by - and inspire - you !

This is one of my all time favorite places on the planet. i dont say that lightly. Rooz and Fatima have welcomed me into their home like family, taught me much about life, farm, jungle, culture and language. getting to ATMI is part of the joy, walking through Makanpur village, passing through the wild jungle, and being surrounded by true nature makes my visits all encompassing. food and facilities are great and whenever i leave, i am thinking about when i will return.

We were greeted at the top of our long stair climb by police geese and a feeling of gratitude and accomplishment. Roos and Fatime welcomed us warmly with fresh cold water and a place to rest on their patio overlooking the beautiful terraces of the farm. The climb up was an experience in itself, from River valley to hill top on an impressive stone stair case. There were lovely resting places along the way, some with spring water taps or small temples. It passes through the village of Makhampur, one of the most beautiful villages we saw in Nepal. The care and craftsmanship of its citizens is clear in the houses, the paddies, the walls and of course the stair. Durring our short stay at Adam Tribe we were glad to spend a few hours assisting in the ever present work of moving stones. The guest room building is built of the stones of an old building just outside the walls of the farm. We were digging up and hauling what's left to make a shower house. It gave us first hand perspective on what it means to build anything in those hills. Meeting Buzi, the resident mequaque, was also a very interesting experience and Rooz and Fatime patiently and kindly helped us to understand how to win her friendship and how to avoid her wrath. The lovely cats make excellent ambassadors. We were lead to understand we would be ordering our food from a menu, and there is a beautiful hand painted menu but I found it much more enjoyable to eat whatever Fatime was making and put in front of me. Everything was as fresh and local as food can be and every bite delectable. I would recommend to people who like to snack to bring what they want with them, and to pack out their trash when they leave. It was cloudy while we were there but in the morning the Anapurna showed themselves above the clouds. It is a sight I'll never forget, like looking into another world. Our visit to Adam tribe was a thoroughly enjoyable respite from the hotter, smokey valley. I would recommend it to anyone aventurous enough to get there and I look forward to returning.

welcomed like family! a REAL off the track, hidden, secluded getaway. amazing food!

This is one of the most beautiful, peaceful and friendly places I have ever been to. Truly recommendable for everyone that enjoys nature, mountain views, silence, solitude, extremely good food, animals and warmth. The way there is pretty and next time I would certainly walk again, but if you're not a fan of rocky stairs, take the jeep. If you walk, the app maps.me (free offline maps) includes the walking path. If you go, say hi (and try to play their mini-harp or mandoline ;)

Once again we were all welcomed with open arms, delicious food, and happy animals at ATMI. Even full of guests, our hosts were attentive and courteous. A fantastic place for Yoga practice and nature experience. ATMI is The first stop on Himalayan Yogini yoga trek package and a MUST SEE DESTINATION. Thank you Rooz and Fatima! :) 3
