The farm is located 20 minutes up from the city of Benapa. It can easily be reached with a 40 mns bus ride from Kathmandu. A 20 mns walk from the bus stop, and you will be in the garden of Mister Shri Krishna.
Shri Krishna lives on the farm with his daughter, Prakriti which means nature, and his wife. Their 2 sons sometimes come and help on the farm between their jobs.
Shri Krishna was a forest guard for many years. Take a walk with him in the jungle, and learn about the local herbs and plants, of which many are medicinal plants. He can also tell you about the animal life and the mountains.
After a good day around the farm, Krishna's wife will be hapy to serve you the local daal bhat.
Being an eco farm, the organic farm is equipped with bio-mass, producing gaz for the family and guest.
From the farm, on clear days you can see Mt Everest. You can enjoy a beautiful panorama view of the mountains, as the sun sets and rises on the surrounding hills.
With a little help from volunteers sharing ideas, the Jungle Hippie Farm wants to become a future plants research center and an example in bio diversity. Mister Shri Krishna is busy planting other crops than the traditional rice and corn fields. He is planting ginger, coriander, european spices, fruit trees and more.
The Jungle Hippie Farm is a model for the neighborood farms for crop diversity.
The cost of 200 rupees a day, includes food and acomodation.
So, when you need a rest from busy Kathmandu, if you would like to help Shri krishna to build his dream farm, or if you simply want to enjoy mountain air, come and join us at the Hippie Farm House.
