Nepal is a developing country. Though there exist some developed cities like Kathmandu, Pokhara, Patan, Biratnagar and some others, the majority of the sub urban areas are still dominated by the rural areas and the villagers. This, however, is not a matter of shame for us because it rather helps us in promoting our tourism and to show our unique cultures. Big hotels and sophisticated guestrooms are available in every corners of the world and people are used to it and hence they do not find anything new about it. But they might be interested for something different like that of the Village Tour/ Home Stay Tour. Village Tour/Home Stay Tour is flourishing in our country as tourists are interested in knowing our culture, language and history and they are warmly welcomed with utter hospitality too. The rapid urbanization has destroyed natural things and is promoting artificial things where people do not want to spend their time talking with unknown persons, but in the Village Tour/ Home Stay Tours they are treated like one of their family members and not like an outsider. Guests are treated almost like gods and the villagers are nice and comfortable to share every query. Some of the popular places that are considered as a pioneer for Village Tour/ Home Stay Tour around western part of Nepal are Ghale Gaun-Lamjung ,Hemjakot-Kaski , Dhital-Kaski , Sirubari-Syangja and many other places around various village in Nepal.

As you arrive in the local village for the Village Tour/ Home Stay Tour you will be warmly welcomed and the people of that area will demonstrate their cultural program dedicating it to the guests. Moreover visitors can enjoy tasty homemade foods with other members of the family. The concept of the Village Tour/ Home Stay Tour is to connect the foreigners with the local villages of Nepal and learn about their indigenous culture. Spending some time in Village Tour/ Home Stay Tour will change your definition of village and the villagers may also change their notion about the foreigners. You are directly participating with different native cultures of different groups. You will be grateful to be experiencing such tours in your life. The duration that you spend in the village as a tour will be your life long experience and when the time comes for departure they will feel sad as if they are preparing for the farewell of their own family members. Taking the traditional meals, walking on the fields, enjoying the conversation, capturing sunrise and sun set, participating in local dances and singing are all the good feeling that you will be taking back with yourself from the Village Tour.
