Farming



Rainbow Sisters Farm is the long time dream of Shri Krishna, a local farmer and forest keeper. His goal is to develop a plants and herbs research center.

An example farm in the village, Shri Krishna is setting up a bio diverse cultivation.
The farm work is still done using traditional method. Here, there are no mechanical tools, as everything is done by hand.
At the farm you can learn about the terrasse system, which is used all over Asia for rice growing. Replant ginger plants as Krishna explains the nature of the mother daughter ginger relationship. Pick lapsi fruits, a local fruit, and learn how to use it in various ways.



To help on the farm, you can be as creative as you would like, so come with your ideas and dreams, and share them with the community.



Or just come and enjoy the quiet air of the mountains:)
