Phase I: The Journey to Prakriti Resort and Organic Farm
Year 2008 to 2013
The journey leading to the creation of Prakriti Resort and Organic Farm (PROF) has been marked by determination and collaboration, with a core vision of fostering a better environment for sustainable tourism. The resort’s origins trace back to 2012 when it was first conceived under the name Nepal Farming Organic World. Unfortunately, in 2015, the devastating earthquake irreparably damaged this project, leaving the farmers without the means to reinvest.
In response to this setback, a new model emerged, giving birth to the present manifestation of Prakriti Resort and Organic Farm. In this new phase, the Nepal Environment and Tourism Initiative Foundation (NETIF- www.netifnepal.org ) along with its some of the board members collaborated to build the organic Resort. The major investors in Prakriti Resort and Organic Farm are the board members of the NGOs that played a pivotal role in initiating the establishment of the Resort. The ownership structure of the resort reflects a balanced mix of stakeholders, including locals, farmers, and the board members of the NGOs contributing in various capacity with a shared goal of promoting organic farming and sustainable tourism practices. A brief description of NETIF is in Annex I.
The main objective of PROF Farm is to contribute to the sustainable tourism of Nepal through a model of eco and organic agro-tourism farming. Our long-term goal is to establish a sustainable tourism destination that meets the needs of tourists, creates livelihood opportunities for the local community, and safeguards the environment.
