The exhibition is organised on the occasion of the First International Vulture Awareness Day that will be celebrated on September 5 every year. The photo exhibition is organised by Krishna Mani Baral, a photojournalist with The Himalayan Times. Baral is also the founder of animalsrights.org, an internet site dedicated to spreading awareness for the protection of the endangered animals. Altogether 70 photos of seven various vulture species have been put for display in the exhibition in the gallery of Nepal Tourism Board. All the eight species of vultures found in Nepal are found in Pokhara. Baral said he took the photographs within the last four years.
