WWOOF Nepal is among the newly formed WWOOF organizations. It started its operations in July 2003 with the initiative of Mr. Fanindra Datta Regmi.
WWOOF Nepal coordinates WWOOFing activities in the majestic Himalayas. WWOOFing in Nepal offers an experience much different than the one obtained in developing countries. While the WWOOFing activities remain similar, the culture and lifestyle of the people there is a great thing to know. For more details read:http://www.wwoofnepal.org/links/about_nepal.htm
However, WWOOF Nepal not just aims at providing WWOOFing opportunities to WWOOFers in Nepal, but also encourages organic farming in the country. WWOOF Nepal, through the visionary guidance of Mr. Regmi is educating Nepalese farmers about organic farming practices.
WWOOF Nepal also enables the farmers of Nepal, which is a land locked country, get exposure of the world outside. WWOOFers from all around the world have visited organic farms in Nepal through WWOOF Nepal.
If you want to do WWOOFing in Nepal, you have to become a member of WWOOF Nepal, which will send you a list of host registered with it. The membership fee for WWOOF Nepal is 30$ for one person and 40$ for a couple.
