While in Pokhara, a rare opportunity came up to watch a vulture feeding. Many of the vulture breeds in Nepal are endangered at the moment. There is a program that was started to feed the vultures in hopes of increasing the numbers. The way it works is the organization buys old or sick cows from the local farmers for 200 RP ($2.77 USD) then they let them roam around on the vulture property till they eventually die. Once dead the cows are skinned and put out for the vultures to eat.
We got to see 11 different species of vultures during the feeding, several of which are critically endangered.
