The village of Haibung 3 in Melamchi Municipality is located in the buffer area of Shivapuri Nagarjun National Park, where any land within a 500-meter distance from its buffer is considered part of the buffer zone. In the past, this area was inhabited by people who lived peacefully and engaged in farming activities. However, during the Shah King dynasty, some kings had a preference for haunting and eating boar meat. One of these Kings introduced boars brought from Russia into the National Park with the intention of hunting them in the wild if the boar population grew. Fortunately, the boar population did indeed grow rapidly, leading to conflicts between the wild boars and the local population.
As a result, the farmers had to abandon their settlements due to the constant conflicts with the wild boars which would come and consume their crops. Initially, farming was already challenging in this area, neither the villagers could kill them nor afford to build protective fences due to the high cost involvement. This situation eventually forced them to leave their homes and farmlands.
In this very area, after years of dedication to sustainable tourism growth and development, Prakriti Resort and Organic Farm are now taking rapid steps toward becoming a sustainable tourism destination. We firmly believe that sustainability cannot be achieved in isolation; it requires collective efforts of multidiscipline and commitment to sustainable practices from the entire village population in guidance of PROF.
Our approach involves fostering collaborative partnerships with local communities, promoting cultural exchanges, and initiating mutually beneficial projects. These initiatives enhance our relationships with the region and contribute to sustainable development.
Destination engagement: We have partnership with the local communities and established a Community Based Organization (CBO) “Haibung Environment and Tourism development Committee”. We are now working to harmonize our efforts with existing governmental structures, local bodies, and civil society organizations that are already active in the project area.
Our strategy for achieving these objectives includes the following key steps:
- Developing a vision and raising awareness of Haibung as a sustainable tourism destination.
- Addressing the basic needs of both local and foreign tourists, local communities, and tourism entrepreneurs.
- Promoting awareness and education on responsible tourism, waste management, and environmental protection.
- Ensuring broad participation and involvement of stakeholders in planning and implementing sustainable tourism development.
- Harmonizing agriculture, climate change adaptation, and biodiversity conservation with tourism development.
- Engaging in partnerships with local communities, NGOs, the National Park Authority, and government bodies.
- Advocating for proper policies for institutional and structural development in the location specific area.
- Planning based on the identification of opportunities and strengths of the area.
- Implementing adaptation measures to minimize development-induced risks, uncertainties and threats in the area.
- Promoting involvement and coordination among the stakeholders.
- Increasing public, private, and community participation in tourism development.
- Encouraging similarity in construction, featuring traditional and eco-friendly construction, management, and operations.
- Strengthening the enabling environment for tourism planning and biodiversity conservation through coaching and supporting existing structures and personnel in the elaboration of tourism management plans for model sites.
Through these planned strategic steps and concerted efforts, Prakriti Resort and Organic Farm aspires to become a beacon of sustainable tourism and a model for others to uprate in the pursuit of environmental conservation and community well-being.
