Farm-to-Table Living: A Heartfelt Homestay Experience in Paro

Travellers Farmhouse, a warm and inviting homestay nestled in the peaceful village of Nemjo is just a 20-minute drive from Paro town. This charming farmhouse is owned by Choden, a gracious host who lives with her husband, children, and energetic grandchildren. The home is always alive with laughter, love, and the richness of Bhutanese tradition.

A Home Steeped in Heritage
More than a century old, the farmhouse has been lovingly passed down through generations—from Choden’s grandparents to her parents, and now to her. While modern comforts have been thoughtfully added to enhance the guest experience, the home’s traditional Bhutanese architecture and spirit remain beautifully intact. It's a seamless blend of heritage and hospitality.

Rooted in Family and Tradition
One of the most cherished family customs is their annual ritual—a sacred gathering where monks are invited to conduct prayers at the family altar. It’s a time for blessing, celebration, and connection, with neighbours joining for feasting, storytelling, and dancing late into the night. Even in everyday life, the family values shared meals, gathering around the table to reflect and stay connected.

A Glimpse into Everyday Life
Guests are invited to witness and even take part in Choden’s daily rhythm—beginning with peaceful prayers at the altar, followed by tending to cows and chickens, collecting fresh eggs and milk, and strolling through her vegetable garden and orchard. The sense of harmony with nature here is palpable.

An Authentic Bhutanese Farmstay Experience
Travellers Farmhouse offers more than a place to sleep—it’s an immersive experience. Guests can enjoy delicious home-cooked meals prepared with fresh, organic ingredients straight from the family’s farm. Those interested in hands-on experiences are welcome to help in the garden, learn how to milk a cow, or cook traditional Bhutanese dishes with Choden’s family recipes.

Relax, Reconnect, and Explore
With scenic hiking trails just minutes away, outdoor enthusiasts will find plenty to explore. After a long walk, unwind with a traditional hot stone bath—a beloved Bhutanese remedy for sore muscles and stress. Guests can also try archery or engage in a fun round of local-style darts, both enjoyed outdoors in the fresh village air.

Thanks to its quiet setting away from the town centre, the farmhouse is also ideal for yoga, meditation, or simply enjoying the serenity of rural Bhutan.

Whether you're seeking adventure, culture, or a quiet retreat, Travellers Farmhouse offers a heartfelt, family-led experience that showcases the best of Bhutanese rural life.
