Welcome to our Website
The desire
to invigorate Nepal’s rural economy through tourism
and sustain its lifeline – a pristine, vibrant
natural environment – gave rise to NETIF, Nepal
Environment and Tourism Initiative Foundation.
Founded as a non-governmental organization in 2006,
and registered in 2008.
With bases in Kathmandu and Dhulikhel, Nepal, NETIF
works with local communities and international
specialists to develop and sustain the environment
and rural tourism enterprises that will attract
tourists to the project area; to develop products
that meet the needs of the present tourist market
and the people living in the project regions while
protecting the environment and enhancing the rural
villages and trekking trails which will create
unlimited opportunities for the future of rural
tourism in Nepal.
NETIF believes that networking and local community
involvement is the key to the success of our
projects and we facilitate it through all levels of
the community, right from the humble villager up to
the top of the government ladder and everything
in-between, from the National Parks and I/NGO’s to
tourism enterprises. By doing this we aim to build a
solid infrastructure that can be used as a platform
to develop our ideas and as a model that can be used
in other regions throughout Nepal as well. |
In association with Soumen latu
NETIF is
working in association with
Suomen Latu -
the Finish Central Association for
Recreational Sports and Outdoor Activities -
a promoter of outdoor activities, an expert
in hiking and an organization open to all.
With financial support from the Finnish
Ministry for Foreign Affairs, Suomen Latu is
working for the development of sustainable
tourism projects within Kathmandu Valley and
its surrounding areas, placing the major
impieties on environment, local communities
and the recreational interests of tourists. |
