The world's rarest white vulture has returned to Pokhara after reaching Ayodhya in India. The vulture with a 'satellite tag' returned to Pokhara after spending 3 days near Ghaghra river in Ayodhya.

Krishna Prasad Bhusal, an expert who is researching the white vultures of Nepal, attached 'satellite tags' to five vultures on October 2. A white vulture was caught and 'tagged' at the Lamial and Dobilla dumping side of Pokhara. Three adult (4 to 5 years), one juvenile (3 years) and one juvenile (2 years) vultures were 'tagged'. Bhusal said that one of these adult vultures flew about 250 km from Pokhara and reached Ayodhya on November 14. 

The vulture reached the vulture restaurant near Gaidhwa lake in Rupandehi from Pokhara on the first day. The next day stayed around Lumbini. On the third day, it seems to have stayed for 5 days near Balrampur, India. After that, he spent 3 days around Ghanghra river in Ayodhya and returned to Pokhara.

While coming to Pokhara, the vulture that flew from Ayodhya in the morning stayed in the Rajapani Community Forest of Kapilvastu and the next day it reached Pokhara on the third day after staying at the butterfly market in Syangja. After wandering outside for two weeks, the vulture has returned to Pokhara. The other four vultures seem to be coming and going around every day," he said. They are moving up to 20/30 km daily.'

White vultures are 'tagged' to find out the distance they travel in search of food, their breeding grounds and the migration conditions and challenges. Bhusal said that the 'leg hole trap' was installed with permission from the National Parks and Wildlife Department. A satellite tag worth Rs 200,000 is 30 grams. The data comes in two hours from the satellite connection. All the data about the direction, how high and the speed it is flying can be found from this," he said, "the study will be easy as the information about whether the battery is working/not working and whether it is charging/not charging is also coming. Bhusal himself is an expert in installing 'satellite tags' which have a lifespan of 3 to 5 years. Under his leadership, Bulgarian expert Dr. The team of Vladimir Dobre and conservationist Dimitri Cherneva, vulture experts Ankitvilas Joshi and Ishwari Chaudhary were 'tagged'. "It's been three months since tagging, there is no movement of the vultures, it seems that the vulture that went to Ayodhya also went for food," said vulture expert Joshi, "now its breeding season is coming, this time some new facts. can be known.' 

He said that information such as how to plant good in which place, how to raise chicks and what are the problems can help in making a plan for conservation. This vulture, which gives birth to only one young, makes its nest in January and roosts in February/Chait and flies its young by June. It is estimated that the number of rare white vultures in Nepal is between 300 and 1000. Experts estimate that half of this number is in Pokhara Valley. Its weight ranges from two to three kg. Even earlier, the rare Dungar vulture reached Pakistan through different places of Himachal Pradesh in search of food and mate.
