Activities
Here at Daidib Daidee farm, there is always some activities to do to keep us busy and entertained everyday all day. Trust me, you won’t be bored!
There is actually plenty to do: planting and watering vegetables, trekking, picking the freshest, organic vegetables from the garden for our meals, cooking some food, collecting firewood, bathing the buffaloes, making fertiliser, cutting bamboo, baking herbs, riding bicycles to admire the view, afternoon siesta, playing music, swimming in the river, socialising around the fire, visiting the local market, exploring the village, observing the locals weaving, or on some days going to the forest to gather and forage for fruit, there is so much for you to experience!
Accommodation
The accommodation options on our farm are all designed towards traditional, permaculture lifestyle. There are four open cabins/huts. Each hut sleeps two people and is made of wood with a thatched roof made from bamboo. There is also a dormitory which sleeps eight people. We will provide blankets, pillows, bed sheets, a traditional, minimalist mattress for sleeping. Mosquito netting will also be provided.
There are two shared, communal, cold water showers and toilets that are a short walking distance from the lodgings. A central building for eating and socialising also has solar powered electricity for charging your phone/devices.
Note: There is no wifi available on site, but you are more than welcome to bring your on cellphones with data and power-banks.
Three nutritious and delicious, organic, vegetarian meals will be provided for breakfast, lunch and dinner. However, if anyone would like to cook a vegetarian meal from their own country to share, you are encouraged to do so! If you are interested in doing so, please contact me in advance to discuss details.
