Nepal is a small country in the Himalayas based on agriculture. Almost 65% of the total population is involved in agriculture and it contributes 27% of the total GDP in Nepal’s economy. Due to this reason, an Agro tour to Nepal is always a unique and immersive way to understand Nepal’s food chain and lifestyle. Depending on the seasons, different crops are produced in different parts of the country. Rice, wheat, maize, barley, mustard, and millet are regular crops produced in a different region of Nepal. vegetables like potatoes have a higher stake as it is farmed in low land to high altitudes. These days modern farming techniques are introduced in poultry farming, fishery, and cow farming. We organize this tour around Panauti town, which is 30 km in distance from Kathmandu. The Kathmandu Agro tour covers the in-depth exploration of the culture and history of the Valley. We will directly participate in the farming activities by staying in the village. Experience the homestay in a village while staying with a family.
