not working for a single sector
but trying to cover all related
components with community's
basic needs like ways agriculture,
tourism, schools health and local
economy etc. That's why we
are not going to cover big areas
but select just few areas where
nobody hasintervened yet and
then develop a model to set an
example.
4. Project Description
The organic agro tourism
promotion project is designed to
promote the organic agro tourism
in Nepal. Organic agro tourism
is a specialized tourism sector
where tourists go to an organic
farm and enjoy organic foods
along with pleasant stay at the
farm. This type of tourism will be
able to attract both domestic and
international tourists. The project
has been conceptualized with a
superior motive of putting in a
new life to Nepalese tourism and
TAAN has an special opportunity
in leading this venture.

The key activities that we plan to
do in the project are to promote
organic destinations for which we
will visit various selected areas
and train local lodge owners,
farmers and guides. When we go
to a particular sector, we will go
with a chef to teach local lodge
owners, how to cook delicious
foods with local recipes. A
farming expert will teach to local
farmers how to grow sufficient
organic grains and vegetables for
the lodges of the region.
We will select few destinations
to start working. The tentative
destinations that we can work in
are:
Jiri to Everest base camp organic
Langtang Helambu organic trail.
Kanchanjangha organic trail
Jaljala Makalu organic trail
Upper Mustang organic trail
Manang organic trail
Dolpo trekorganic trail

• New destinations
Although we will start from
existing destinations, we want
to explore other many pristine
destinations to give new choices
to our guests.
Our main goal is to explore and
develop new destinations. We
have got plenty of pristine areas
still waiting for explorations,
development and marketing
to domestics and international
tourism industry.
