A farmstay in Nepal.
A little more time.
Some days are better with fewer plans. At Bulbul Farm Retreat in Bartung, Tansen, Palpa, make space for garden mornings, shared meals and the small pleasures of being somewhere new.

set the pace.
A holiday in Nepal can hold many kinds of days. Between busy stops, a farm stay gives you a reason to unpack, look around and enjoy where you are. You do not need to fill every hour to make it a worthwhile visit.
Bulbul offers comfortable rooms in a garden setting, with farm food and everyday life outdoors close by. Read our story, explore the photo gallery, and picture the kind of stay that suits you.
Choose it for a quiet base rather than a packed programme. Take a book outside, share a conversation over a meal, and leave time to meet Coco and Leo gently, on their terms.
A place at the table
Ask what is cooking, which meals can be arranged and how the hosts can accommodate your dietary needs.
Time outside
Enjoy the garden and the atmosphere of the farm. Ask about seasonal activities when you enquire.

Road times are approximate and change with the season, roadworks and traffic. Check current conditions before you travel.
- FROM POKHARA
Down the Siddhartha Highway.
Tansen is roughly four to five hours by road south of Pokhara. Instead of driving straight through to the plains, break the journey in the hills and arrive with time to spare for the garden.
- TO LUMBINI & CHITWAN
Onward to the Terai.
From Tansen the road descends to Butwal, the gateway to Lumbini, the birthplace of the Buddha, and to routes east towards Chitwan. Lumbini is around three hours away, so a farm stay fits between the two.
- BY AIR
Fly in, then take the hill road.
Gautam Buddha International Airport in Bhairahawa has flights from Kathmandu and is roughly two to three hours from Tansen by road. Coming overland from Kathmandu is a long day, so many travellers combine Tansen with Pokhara or Lumbini.
Autumn
Settled weather and clear views after the monsoon. A popular time for travel across Nepal, so enquire early.
Winter
Cool, bright days and chilly evenings. Mornings can bring mist over the valleys around Tansen.
Spring
Warmer days, flowering trees and a growing garden. Late spring can be hazy and hot in the lowlands.
Monsoon
Rain, deep green hills and fewer visitors. Allow extra travel time, as hill roads can be slow.
MAKE IT YOUR OWNPlan a stay
Plan a stay
that fits.
Tell the hosts your dates, group size and what matters to you: meals, a relaxed break, time around Tansen, or a particular access need. Agree arrival details and the final price before making firm arrangements.

What makes a farm stay different from a hotel?
A farm stay puts the setting at the centre of your visit. At Bulbul, that means gardens, farm food and time outdoors alongside a room to return to. Ask the hosts which activities and meals are available for your dates.
Can I include Bulbul in a longer Nepal holiday?
Yes. Build a pause in Tansen into your own itinerary, leaving room for arrival, exploring and rest. Our Tansen guide offers ideas to discuss with the hosts when planning your stay.
Where is Bulbul Farm Retreat in Nepal?
Bulbul is in Bartung, near Tansen in Palpa District, Lumbini Province. Tansen sits in the hills on the Siddhartha Highway, roughly between Pokhara and Butwal, which makes it a natural pause between Pokhara and Lumbini or Chitwan.
When is the best time for a farm stay in Nepal?
Autumn (October to November) usually brings clear skies and comfortable days. Spring (March to May) is warm and green. Winter mornings in the hills are cool, and the monsoon (June to September) is lush but wet, so allow extra time for travel.
Does the booking form confirm my room?
The form sends an enquiry. Your stay is confirmed after the hosts agree availability, the total price and the booking terms with you.
