Our Agriculture & Organic Food Project
Growing healthy food, supporting rural communities and creating a sustainable future.
Tourism and farming, growing together
Malung Treks runs an organic agriculture project in rural Nepal. We grow healthy food, support local farming families and supply fresh produce to our homestays and the lodges our trekkers use.
The project creates jobs for young people in the village, keeps traditional crops alive and shows visitors where their food comes from.

Vegetables
Seasonal vegetables for families, homestays and trekking lodges.
