Decades-old fight against privatisation of forest land is bearing fruit for Baghmara Buffer Zone in Chitwan

Tourism has changed the face of the local community who have worked hard to protect the forest over the past decades.

Visitors to Sauraha, a popular wildlife destination, also often reach the nearby Baghmara Buffer Zone Community Forest to enjoy a boat ride along the Budhi Rapti river and for splendid views of the forest from the view tower in the middle of the forest.
