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.

Social Media Intern for GEN International Hours: Up to 20/month, flexible around your schedule and availability Location: Remote, work with Eva Goldfarb Focus: Instagram + LinkedIn (TikTok if you’re into it!) Hi! I’m Eva, and I run social media for GEN International — the global network connecting ecovillages, intentional communities, and regenerative culture-builders across every continent. I’m looking for a co-conspirator to help me tell the stories of the people quietly building the future: off-grid villages in the Philippines, permaculture farms in Senegal, urban cohousing projects in Berlin, elders passing down land wisdom in the Andes. It’s a wildly rich, wildly underrepresented world, and I want more people to fall in love with it the way I have. What you’ll actually do: Dream up and create content for Instagram and LinkedIn (reels, carousels, stories, captions that don’t sound like a corporate newsletter) Dig into our global network and turn your findings into stories people want to share Pitch your own ideas. If there’s a series, a theme, a format, or a corner of the network that lights you up, that’s what I want you to focus on. What we’re looking for: A natural storyteller, someone who can spot the human thread in a project update or a photo from a faraway village Genuinely curious about ecovillages, sustainability, intentional community, regenerative living Self-motivated and communicative; this is a flexible, trust-based role Why this role: This isn’t a “post 3x a week and don’t ask questions” internship. You’ll have real creative freedom to work on what excites you, learn how a global grassroots network tells its story, and build a portfolio full of meaningful, purpose-driven content. Plus you’ll be talking to people living some of the most interesting, intentional lives on the planet. If storytelling for a better world sounds like your kind of fun, let’s talk.
