My name is Nima Dorjee Tamang and you can call me "Nima or NDT" and I am associated with a #Trekking #Agency and #community NGO since 2002 in Nepal. Originally, I am from Eastern part of Nepal- #Everest region where my ancestral belongs to. Currently I am leading a Trekking Agency named Friendship World Treks, worked as Trekking and Mountaineering Guide in Nepal, Tibet, Bhutan and India where as I am associated with a NGO called Friendship Society Nepal in Kathmandu and Friendship Home Stay in Kathmandu. My hobby is to travel. I have traveled almost 75 % of rural Nepal. I have been accommodating so many friends from Asian countries, American and European universities and assisting their thesis work as well. Whereas our 10% profit from Trekking and other activities that each earnings goes to the quality education of children from marginalized communities. I hope you guys will be a part of this good cause as well. I make time to talk to my guests and offer help / advice when needed. Our guests can expect a clean, safe and homely environment while in Nepal. We provide home cooked meals and all the comforts of home . Since we belong from a culturally rich place called SOLUKHUMBHU. We have our own style of cooking food, languages and attires. So, there will be additional chance to learn a culture from a Solukhumbu whilst you stay in my house with my family. And we follow a Buddhist religion. I wish you will simply love the stay in my house or Trekking with us or Be a part Volunteer program . Have a nice Journey!!

This provides the volunteers with an excellent opportunity to learn about all aspects of Nepali culture, lifestyle, language, food and people. Volunteers should remember that this is a cultural exchange and that an effort to offer some knowledge of their own home culture and customs to the family with whom they stay is appreciated.

During their stay, volunteers will attend 2 hours of language lessons in the morning and in the afternoon.

Home stay programmes are best organised from August to December which is the time when most large local festivals take place. This makes for an overall more exciting experience for the volunteer. Nepali culture is distinctively friendly and open and participants are made to feel as though they are part of the family.

No house rules are different than your own house but still some of the things that you need to consider:
1. As the rooms is on the Second floor and Top Floor with a terrace, if you smoke outside the room on the top floor will be highly appreciable. We family's members no one smoke at home.

2. Please do inform us in advance if you would like to have dinner/meals at home as it takes time for preparation. Dinner and Lunch cost extra which is Nrs 400 Per Meal Per Person.

3. As Nepal has loads of power cuts and we run on backup inverter batteries, charging or using heavy duty electrical appliances cannot be supported by the inverter so, please bear in mind that charging mobiles and laptops are only way to keep happy. During day time when there is no electricity, the Inverter is always shut down. Please ask if you need some work to be finished by day time. When there is no electricity a torch in your list would be worthwhile.

4. If you have any laundry to be done, please inform anyone in my house so that we can help you to bring water for you to wash your clothes by hand. As we don't use the washing machine at our home. If you want to have laundry services we will help you to take it near our home where the laundry services are available.

8. There is a warm sandals inside the room, please don't take those sandles inside the bathroom and Toilet. Bathroom has its own slippers. Taking sandles to bathroom and again to your room is considered as a bad manner here in Nepal.

9. Please wipe the bathroom floor with water once you finish taking your shower. If the water outlet is chocked with your hairs and soap, Please take it out and put on the rubbish Box on the beside of the Bathroom and before you leave the bathroom.
