Chasing butterflies

Tekbahadur Gurung and Kapil Prasad Pokharel discuss photographing and collecting information on Chitwan’s colourful insects.

Who wouldn’t be delighted to spot a butterfly? Tekbahadur Gurung, a seasoned nature guide who leads tourists through Chitwan National Park, says, "Some foreign tourists visit just to see the butterflies." Even if they don't initially come for that, their interest grows once they encounter these vibrant insects.
