Suren is the dedicated founder of the Api Saipal Group and owner of Purnata Art & Organic Farm Residency in Pokhara, Nepal. Passionate about sustainable living and nature conservation, Suren has devoted his life to promoting eco-friendly farming practices and creating sustainable tourism experiences.
With a profound connection to the land and natural cycles, Suren has always been inspired by nature. This connection grew stronger over the years, leading him to explore sustainable farming methods that not only protect the environment but also enrich the local community. After studying organic agriculture and working with various ecological initiatives, Suren decided to return to Pokhara to apply his knowledge and experience.
In creating Purnata Art & Organic Farm Residency, Suren wanted to offer a space where visitors from around the world can learn, create, and rejuvenate. The residency not only produces organic vegetables and fruits for the local restaurant but also serves as a creative and educational hub for artists and local farmers. It raises awareness about sustainable practices and provides training in organic farming.
The funds raised through this campaign will be used for several key initiatives:
Developing Sustainable Infrastructure: Building eco-friendly accommodations and facilities.
Training and Resources: Providing education and materials for local farmers to adopt sustainable practices.
Supporting Eco-Tourism: Enhancing our farm and residency to attract more eco-conscious tourists and artists.
Cultural and Educational Exchanges: Organizing workshops and exchange programs to promote global understanding and cooperation.
Lucas and Suren first met through a mutual friend and quickly became friends. Over time, they got to know each other well, and Lucas, impressed by Suren’s dedication and vision, decided to help communicate the project to a wider audience. Lucas is responsible for collecting the funds and transferring them to Suren via bank transfer to ensure the smooth and secure handling of donations.
Under Suren’s leadership, the Api Saipal Group has become a model of sustainable development, combining ecological agriculture, eco-tourism, and artistic residency. Suren firmly believes that tourism can be a positive force, allowing visitors to connect with nature while supporting local communities. His dream is to see more people embrace sustainable lifestyles and create a positive impact on the global environment.
Through his tireless efforts, Suren has transformed a simple farm into a thriving community and an inspiring destination for those seeking to live in harmony with nature and pursue creative endeavors. He is determined to continue promoting ecological initiatives and encouraging people to step out of their comfort zones to embrace a more sustainable way of life.
