5 stars is not enough ! If you want to dive into permaculture farming beside jungle, lakes, hills and mountains, MVEF is then the place to be. Days in the farm are everyday different and full of surprises. Waking up to the birdsongs, eating tasteful food along with the mountain and hill view, cooking and learning more about the local food and spices, sowing different plants and observing them growing, or just relaxing in the hammock ; those are the type of activities that I had experienced, and much more. As well we had amazing conversations and funny time chatting and playing cards. I learned a lot about the Nepali culture; Ayurveda, Hinduism and much more. From their bravery and energy, I also learned about myself, they have inspired me a lot! You have to come to feel. All in all, if you are looking for a family host in Nepal to know more about organic farming and local culture, it's a life time experience. They are benevolent and careful, during my 2 month stay, I felt at home. Govinda, Chetana and Siddartha, thank you family for the knowledge and cultural exchanges that we had. I highly recommend Mountain View Eco Farm .

I spent 10 days with Govinda and his beautiful family, but could easily have stayed much longer as it really did feel like home. Chatana, his wife, cooks delicious, traditional dishes using seasonal, fresh, organic vegetables from the garden and I got to help her with food preparation and learn about Nepalese cooking. We also all made momos together one afternoon which was so much fun! The farm is in a stunning location by Begnas Lake with views of the Himalayas. Such a quiet and tranquil place where I got to enjoy and relax with plenty of downtime for self reflection. Govinda taught me much about working the land and I got to help with many tasks including; milking the cow, planting crops, building supporting bamboo structures and weeding. It was extremely rewarding. I also got to spend time with their playful son Siddartha and help him with his homework. Overall I would highly recommend this homestay experience. Govinda and his family truely put in so much effort to make your stay as comfortable and traditional as possible while making you feel a part of the family. Will definitely be returning! Let me know how the tomatoes go Govinda! :)

Mountain View Eco Farm is set on the hills outside Pokhara with wonderful views of the Himalayas. I recently visited with a group of school children to learn more about Eco farming. The Farm is well run and they use a range of eco friendly methods in their farming. The owner Govinda and his family take pride in the way they farm and offer a positive educational experience. Students got to learn about the different plants in the farm & the many uses they have, how to make natural pesticides, they took part planting seedlings and participated in a cooking class and enjoyed a yoga session looking out to the lake & Himalayas. The meals served were all prepared from food/plants from the farm. They happily catered for food allergies. Rooms at the Eco farm are basic but do their purpose (bearing in mind it is an Eco farm). There are hotel rooms of a higher standard a few minutes walk away also owned by the family. Here they also have a conference room available for presentations.

If you're looking for a place to stay in Nepal, you found it. MVEF is a one-of-a-kind organic farm, homestay, mother and son farm to fork restaurant, educational center, Ayurvedic healing clinic, hair cut, gym, painting and home improvement apprenticeship, rainwater collection site, Himalayan viewpoint, and overall great time. I spent two months here and learned so much while finding true peace and happiness. No matter what you are looking for in Nepal, the hosts are extremely accommodating and kind. Beyond being hosts, Govinda, Chetana, and Siddhartha take you in as part of the family for full cultural and agricultural immersion. I was able to engage with the local community, teach at a school for a week, visit farms in the area, and spend some time in Pokhara too. Working with the soil and cooking was deeply satisfying and never felt like work at all. Together for the Earth is the motto and you feel connected on so many levels; by staying and volunteering, you are also supporting a greater purpose. If you can stay for any length of time here I highly recommend!

I highly recommend staying a Mountain View eco farm! Govinda, Chetana, Siddharta and the other guests made me feel straight at home and I will never forget this special stay with the beautiful views. It’s great to chat with Govinda and Chetana sharing their knowledge when it comes to ecological farming, plants, herbs, cultural things etc. You can ask them anything. I definitely learned some new things here and the way they live, so dedicated and with respect for nature and the land really inspired me. Chetana cooks the most delicious meals and she has been so kind in making special tea’s and giving me herbs from the garden when I was not feeling well due to a cold. When you visit Nepal for trekkings make sure to spend some relaxed time here too, it will do you good! Also Govinda has some very good recommendations if you’re looking for a trekking guide so definitely ask him.

Wow. This was an amazing place to stay. You really have to experience it for yourself. I stayed a week and had an absolute ball. Govinda and Chetana are darling people. They will welcome you into their home and life with open arms and hearts. I learnt so much about their life and culture, it was invaluable. Not to mention the absolutely incredible location and view of the annapurna mountains. The food is incredible and fresh, you will also learn how to cook their cuisine and learn about the spices and ayuverda etc. The accommodation is comfortable . Learning about their farm and mission to promote this lifestyle is just so inspiring, takes a lot of courage! This really recharged my batteries being in nature and helping on the farm, also meeting fellow travellers. Thannk you so much family, I will be back! An unforgettable and so very special experience.

It was a great pleasure for me to stay at the Mountain View Ecofarm. I stayed for over 1 week helping in the garden and in the kitchen. The family is very loving. Every meal was so tasteful, with each meal new tastes and super healthy. The ambience is very peaceful and relaxed. At sunrise I did my body exercises, drink thee/warm water, after breakfast we did some hours garden work, after lunch we did rest or went for a walk in the surroundings. I walked to Begnas for a special coffee, around Begnas Lake or to see the zoo rescue animals and the rice fields. Others went for a day to Pokhara. After dinner we did many times a card play. That was fun too. I love to come back. Thanks so much Govinda, Chettana and Siddharta ❤️

I spent two extraordinary months at Mountain View Eco Farm. Govinda and Chetana are really helpful, kind and welcoming. They always do their best to make you feel at home. Govinda can recommend many activities, places to visit and hikes. Chetana is a real chef. She cooks all the typical Nepalese dishes to perfection. If you want to spend time in a beautiful and peaceful place where you can learn about organic farming, the benefits of plants, Nepalese food and culture, don't hesitate to come and experience an authentic adventure.

I spent a week on this amazing farm. Govinda, Chetana en Siddartha are such a open and sweet family. I could have stayed way longer. The farm is so nice with a lot of different crops, one cow and some chickens. I learned a lot from Govinda about farming. He knows so much and can explain everything. Their English is good, which makes the communication very easy. I loved that I learned cooking all different kind of Nepalese food from Chetana. She is such a good cook. If you want a local experience and learn about farming and cooking go here!

This was an amazing experience for us! We were here for 3 nights and could have definitely stayed for longer! The farm stay experience includes 3 delicious meals a day with great local food. You can decide if you want to help with farm work and learn about their organic farm. The rooms are really nice and comfortable and the view is amazing! The price was really good for what we got and the family is super nice. They are a young couple with great English and a cute son that is lots of fun.

I felt very well taken care of, the food was fantastic and if you wanted, you could learn some things about growing vegetables and general farming. For me, however, the most important thing was to relax and I did that very well in the 4 days. Thank you for your hospitality and all the best for the future.️☀️ Laya & Flo

I had the most amazing time at MVEF staying with Govinda, Chetana and Siddharta. I learnt a lot about Nepali cooking, organic gardening and just had so much fun spending time with everyone including learning some number games with Govinda’s father. If you are looking to stay with a Nepali family, learn more about their culture, language and food, learn about organic farming and just generally have a lovely time with awesome people, this is the place for you!

Nous sommes restés 2 nuits mais nous aurions souhaité rester plus pour profiter encore mieux de cette expérience. L’endroit est magnifique, reposant avec une vue superbe sur le lac. Nous avons passé des moments uniques à aider à la ferme, cuisiner ensemble, discuter de tout et de rien. Des jours formidables que nous recommandons à toute personne voulant découvrir le Népal différemment. Encore merci à vous pour ces moments de partage.

Fantastic place ! I am staying for 10 days. Having a great time with Govinda Chitena and Siddhartha. I can highly recommend it, you can learn about farming and help them in the garden or chill next to the lake. It is totally up to you The place is so relax and far from the city noise, we slept so well. And the food is awesome ! Go there, don't wait ;)

Ich habe 4 Nächte hier gewohnt und mitgeholfen. Die Umgebung ist ein Traum, Govinda und seine Familie sind ganz zauberhaft, das Essen schmeckt hervorragend, das Zimmer war auch süß und die Arbeit war sehr angenehm und geradezu meditativ. Ganz toll!!

What to say. Living, eating and laughing along side the Govinda, his wife Chetana and son Siddhartha was an absolute joy. The eco farm is situated on a mountain side over looking the Annapurna mountain range and begnas lake with stunning …

You're part of the family there.

This really is a special place to stay. Govinda and chetana are incredibly sweet and the food is amazing! Very clean room. It felt so easy to feel right at home here. And of course the view is incredible :)

たった一日訪れただけですが、ホストファミリーはあたたかく迎えてくれました。100%オーガニックの食事、クレイで作られた家、ガーデンで作られている様々な野菜やフルーツ、すべての乳製品を賄う一頭の牛…こんな風にして人間は暮らしていけることを目の前で見れたのは大感動でした！次回は是非この暮らしをしばらく体験してみたい！ここの坊やのクリエイティビティはきっとこんな生活から生まれるんだろうな。

Für uns war es die perfekte Unterkunft. In der Natur, ruhig, sauber, nette Leute, organic food… sie sind 100% auf unsere Bedürfnisse eingegangen. Vielen Dank!

As one of the very first guests i was here 2013. When we started we only prepared the soil. Amazing to sea it now! Great work Govinda and everybody involved!

Las mejores vistas de los Himalayas y el lago Begnas, comida exquisita, habitación cómoda y limpia y los dueños son la gente más linda.

Wonderful stay with a lovely family and their super tasty organic farm kitchen. Our favourite food of Nepal!

Marvellous locally produced organic food. Highly recommend.

Nice place
