Kathmandu, July 8, 2025
In a historic achievement for Nepal’s sustainable tourism and hospitality sector, Prakriti Resort and Organic Farm has officially become an accommodation provider in Nepal to receive the prestigious Travelife Certification for Accommodation Sustainability, awarded by Travelife UK.

The certification was formally announced at a press conference held at the Nepal Tourism Board, Kathmandu, in the presence of officials, tourism stakeholders, and sustainability experts. This recognition places Nepal on the global map for responsible and environmentally conscious hospitality practices.

What the Certification Means

Travelife is an internationally respected sustainability certification scheme, based in the UK, that helps hotels and accommodation providers manage their social and environmental impacts effectively. The certification process involves an independent audit and detailed assessment of an establishment’s performance in areas such as:

Environmental management (energy, water, waste)

Biodiversity protection

Support for local communities and culture

Fair employment practices

Guest awareness and education on sustainability
By meeting the Travelife criteria, Prakriti Resort and Organic Farm has demonstrated exceptional commitment to environmental conservation, community development, and ethical hospitality.

Leading by Example in Nepal

Over the past two years, the resort has integrated sustainable principles into every aspect of its operations from organic farming, eco-friendly construction, and renewable energy use to local sourcing and employment. The certification serves not only as international recognition but also as an inspiration for other tourism businesses in Nepal.

“This achievement is not just a recognition for us, but a motivation for the entire tourism industry in Nepal to move toward sustainability, accountability, and community-centered growth,” said Mr. Arun Shrestha Owner of Prakriti Resort and Organic Farm.FB_IMG_1751965297010-1751965358.jpg

Government and Community Support

The initiative received strong backing from the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation, as well as cooperation from Nepal Tourism Board, sustainability advisors, and local government bodies. Community engagement played a vital role, with local farmers, artisans, and youth participating in the resort’s sustainability programs.

Paving the Way Forward

With Nepal prioritizing eco-tourism and green development, this certification opens doors to:

Greater international visibility and eco-conscious travelers

Enhanced credibility in global tourism networks

Replication of the sustainable model in other parts of Nepal

Promotion of sustainable livelihood, agro-tourism, and nature-based experiences
