Developed and funded by The Parahawking Project in co-operation with the Ghachok community

 

Introduction:
Nepal's vultures are teetering on the brink of extinction. The use of Diclofenac, an anti inflammatory drug, in livestock has caused a catastrophic collapse in vulture populations across Asia, click here to find out more. The Parahawking Project has been involved in Vulture Conservation since 2001 and have made significant contributions on a grass roots level with the development of the Ghachok Vulture Safe Feeding Site and on an international platform in terms of raising awareness of the vultures plight.

We are now delighted to be launching our latest initiative, The Vulture Conservation Camp. Situated in the stunning village of Ghachok, the camp is located on the ridge overlooking the Parahawking Project funded Vulture Safe Feeding Site. From the campsite you will hear the running water of the Seti River below whilst the glorious Annapurna mountain range looms over to the north. But best of all you will be surrounded by some of the most endangered and magnificent raptors in the world. It's a truly stunning venue!

Itinerary:
We leave Pokhara in the morning and commence a one hour drive out towards the Annapurna Conservation Area, through traditional villages and across rivers. We arrive at the Village of Ghachok and set up camp but we may need to be quiet as often there are Himalayan Griffon Vultures and White Backed Vultures sitting only meters away observing the feeding site below us. After a full briefing and overview of the project we can set up our binoculars, spotting scopes and cameras to capture some incredible images of vultures circling right above us. After lunch we can head down to the feeding site where, if we're lucky, we can witness vultures feeding and give you a full tour of the site.

We return to the camp for some more evening vulture spotting and witness the birds heading off to roost in the nearby trees. A traditional Nepali Dal Bhat will be served for evening meal as the sun disappears over the mountains.

In the morning, you may want to wake up early to witness a magical sunrise over the Annapurna mountain range. As the sun rises the vultures will once again take to the air, some may even land right next to the camp site only meters away from your tent. After breakfast, we'll take a leisurely walk around the village and surrounding area for some more raptor watching. You may see Steppe Eagles, Red Headed Vultures, Cinerious Vultures, Egyptian Vultures, Mountain Hawk Eagles and Peregrine Falcons. We will then break camp and head back to Pokhara and lunch at Maya Devi Village, The Parahawking Project HQ.

Whats included:

  • Transport to and from your hotel in Pokhara
  • Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
  • All camping equipment (Feel free to bring your own sleeping bag if you prefer)
  • Vulture Guide
  • Entrance ticket to the Vulture Safe Feeding Site

What to bring:

  • Sleeping bag (optional)
  • Camera
  • Binoculars (we will provide some also)
