Welcome to The Fort Resort's Organic Garden

        Netra Kaji Bantawa is the founder and designer of the Fort Resort. He had planned in his mind years ahead and purchased number of acres of the land in Nagarkot. In the beginning, back in early 1980s, he had begun planting apple trees and made an orchard of his own all organically nurtured. He is a professional gardener and designer and has ample of experience in this field. He has also given his hands and ideas often times to the gardens and orchards of Krishnamurti Foundation India in Adyar, Madras and Rajghat, Varanasi. He once invited the Japanese agro-scientist and philosopher Dr. Masanubu Fukuoka in Nepal to give seminars at different institutions and at university.

        Nagarkot is situated on 7,000ft upon one of the foothills of the Himalayas. Its landscape is steep and agricultural lands are all traced land. There is no water for irrigation, and all agriculture depends on monsoon. In winter there is snow and strong frost. There is only one cultivation in a year. Things grow pretty slow in Nagarkot. However, the Fort Resort's organic garden is doing quite good with the new techniques and water recycling. The garden needs a lot of attention and care to produce organic fruits and vegetables.

Please come and enjoy our garden and its produce by giving us oppotunity to serve you. It is a wonderful place to take a retreat and hike the mountain.
