## About

Start your journey with a scenic local bus ride from Kathmandu toward Pokhara. Along the way, arrive at a peaceful Gandharva village surrounded by hills and farmland. Settle into your homestay, meet your welcoming hosts, and enjoy your first home-cooked Nepali meal, prepared with fresh, local ingredients. In the evening, gather for live Sarangi music and listen to the soulful stories shared by local artists who carry forward the Gandharva musical legacy.

Wake up to the calm of village life and join your hosts after breakfast in their daily routines. Help prepare traditional meals, learn local recipes, or take part in small farming activities that reflect the rhythm of rural Nepal. You can also visit nearby schools and meet villagers who share their stories and cultural heritage.

In the afternoon, take a trip to the beautiful hill town of Bandipur. Explore its charming streets, enjoy panoramic views of the Himalayas, and experience the timeless atmosphere of this Newari heritage town. For those who prefer not to walk, a short drive is available to reach Bandipur and return to the village comfortably. As evening falls, gather once again for music, laughter, and connection under the open sky.

After breakfast the next morning, bid farewell to your hosts and continue your journey toward Pokhara, carrying with you the melodies, warmth, and memories of your time in the Gandharva village.
