presenting our new project – in chitwan district | nepal
we aim at creating a role model of tourism in an area ready to flourish as a preferred destination for pristine nature and wildlife lovers, and culturally conscious, environmentally sensitive visitors – domestic and international.
we are excited and ready to start: funding has been approved and we look forward to 2+ years’ creative work on a new model of sustainable rural eco-tourism, together with our engaged local partners.
madi eco-village will be a best-example tourist destination, where all relevant aspects which arise when guests come to visit an area alive with nature and culture, are taken care of from a holistic, circular perspective. by bringing in valuable revenue, and presenting a workable concept of how housing and living can go in harmony with nature, tourism can serve as a catalyst of positive change – rather than an agent of eroding degration.
I look forward to this multicultural collaboration in the bufferzone of world heritage site chitwan national park. together with like-minded people sharing the intention to safeguard and valuate this unique environmental & cultural space.
and I look forward to welcoming you as our guests when we open our doors for first test-visitors a year from now.
we will keep you updated.
