madi-ecovillage is a pilot project with the aim to develop and promote a holistic approach to tourism – self-sustainable, clean and community-based – in the terai region of nepal.

the project includes the construction of homestay houses based on traditional architecture coupled with modern climate-efficient design, a clean solar energy supply, safe drinking water, a smart waste management system (reduce, reuse, recycle, upcycle) and training / awareness creation to the local partners – women’s groups who will manage the homestay business as a welcome source of additional local income.

once successfully established – this holistic approach to tourism service shall be replicated in other touristic regions of nepal.
