What we do

Jyagdi EcoVillage was established to address rural depopulation, environmental degradation, and the loss of traditional farming practices. As younger generations migrate to cities or abroad, villages are left with an aging population and abandoned farmlands. To counter this trend, we provide opportunities for eco-conscious living, organic farming, and sustainable tourism that empower the local community and attract like-minded individuals from around the world.
Our Principles & Purpose
We are guided by permaculture principles, regenerative agriculture, and a commitment to a zero-waste lifestyle. Our core focus includes:
✅ Sustainable Farming – Reviving traditional agricultural practices with organic and regenerative methods.
✅ Eco-Tourism – Offering immersive experiences in rural Nepal, including homestays, cultural exchange, and guided eco-tours.
✅ Community Development – Providing education, skill development, and livelihood opportunities for local residents.
✅ Environmental Conservation – Reducing plastic waste, promoting reforestation, and implementing green technologies.
✅ Wellness & Mindfulness – Hosting retreats, yoga, meditation, and nature-immersion programs.
Our Vision
We aspire to create a model eco-village where sustainability and local culture blend harmoniously, inspiring others to adopt eco-friendly lifestyles. By fostering global collaboration and local engagement, we aim to rejuvenate our land, empower people, and contribute to a healthier planet.

Curso de BioconstrucciĂłn

Queremos ofrecer un Curso en el que aprender, experimentar y profundizar en algunos aspectos de la BioconstrucciĂłn, de manera profesional, familiar y cercana al mismo tiempo. La BioconstrucciĂłn es un campo muy amplio, por eso hemos decidido dividir este curso intensivo en 2 MĂłdulos especĂ­ficos: El Primer mĂłdulo es Fuego y Barro, y en el trabajaremos elementos como: Estufas de masa tĂ©rmica, hornos de leña, estufas rocket, adobe,….. Aprendiendo a construir con materiales sanos y naturales, adaptados a nuestro hogar y necesidades; para obtener una mayor eficiencia, salud y calidez en nuestro hogar y cuidar el medio ambiente al mismo tiempo. EL segundo mĂłdulo es BioconstrucciĂłn: Yurta, domo y cañas., y en este trabajaremos la construcciĂłn de estructuras tales como: domo geodĂ©sico, yurta, techos de cañizo, arcos y columnas de cañas, que pueden ser utilizadas para construcciĂłn de pĂ©rgolas, invernaderos, sombreados, escenarios y mucho más….; todo ello con materiales locales vegetales: caña y pita (ágave). Las personas interesadas pueden apuntarse a los dos mĂłdulo o tambiĂ©n solo a uno, el que más les interese. El grupo va a ser reducido, entre un mĂ­nimo de 4 y un máximo de 6 personas; Gran parte del aprendizaje será práctico y de trabajo manual, combinado con momentos de explicaciĂłn teĂłrica.

CANYAVIVA

El mètodo CanyaViva (www.canyaviva.com) utiliza la caña mediterrànea (Arundo Donax) para la realizaciòn de estructuras orgànicas integralmente sostenibles, armònicas y estables. El curso es una formación teórico-práctica en tres modulos. Modulo 1: limpieza, clasificación, fabricación de columnas y doblaje de arcos Modulo 2: montaje de la estructura Modulo 3: especializaciòn en cubriciòn El método de construcción de CanyaViva, comenzó con la observación de la caña en su estado natural y los espacios en el rio creados por ella al crecer. Tras el contacto inmediato con la planta se definieron los pasos y parámetros del método CanyaViva que optimizan el uso del material para construir estructuras flexibles y orgánicas, pero también fuertes y estables, capaces de resistir vientos, inundaciones e incluso terremotos. CanyaViva es un modelo de construcción que respeta la naturaleza como principio fundamental. Queremos ampliar el uso de materiales naturales, realmente abundantes y renovables. Además la limpieza de cañaverales y bambudales ayuda a prevenir incendios y riadas, estimula el crecimiento de la planta, favoreciendo la fijación de grandes cantidades de CO? y mejora la calidad del material año tras año. Entendemos cada uno de nuestros proyectos como un lugar de encuentro social, un campo de trabajo, de aprendizaje, de investigación así como de intercambio de conocimientos. in***********@***il.com
