Our Farm in Nepal | big life update + rammed earth house done!

[@positivesoul2973]

This is the concept that I've been thinking from my childhood. If all Nepalese people's houses were made the way you guys did, it would be amazing. Nepal would not lose its cultural value and it would be much more beautiful and authentic. And your farm looks great.Wish you all the best for your new life here in Nepal with a new family member and God bless the little soul ❤

That's great to hear that you have the same idea and also planning to buy land in Kavre! And you're here in CA! Where in CA are you? Our land is 28 ropani, but much of our space is stepper and we'll be leaving it as the natural forest, so you won't necessarily need that much space. As I mentioned in the video, we worked with Sustainable Future to design and build our rammed earth house. You can find them on facebook here: facebook.com/sustainablefuturenepal. Hope that helps and let me know if you have any other questions!

So lovely to see this video! In fact, nearly a month ago I had an unplanned visit to your location. I saw the building from the dirt road below and thought I would surely visit while I return. I seek permission with the people working there and when I saw it from near it made me so happy. I was thinking how would someone think of building such a wonderful home. Now I know the beautiful mind behind the house and the garden. I wonder how would the water stream (THADO KHOLA), now dry, would sound during the rainy days and how lovely would it be during the spring season! I would love to visit the place again and meet you both there! Thank you ......

[@StephThorntonNEPAL]

Hi Surendra! What a funny coincidence that you had already seen our land and you happened to come upon our video :) That stream is certainly a lot fuller in the monsoon season, during this drier months it is usually just a trickle. Once we're both back and living there you would definitely be welcome for a visit!
