Photo Exhibition in Nepal highlights fragile Mountain Ecosystem

Jun 10, 2025

Kathmandu (Nepal), June 10 (ANI): A fortnightly photo exhibition in Nepal's capital, Kathmandu, has raised awareness about changing mountain habitat, linking it with tourism and identity as rising temperature and climate change threaten the high-lying habitat. The photo exhibition being organised by the Rastriya Samachar Samiti (RSS) or the National News Agency on the theme "Mountain Tourism: Our Pride, Our Identity" features 96 photographs. The National News Agency had organised a photo exhibition on the cultural diversity of Nepal last year and on physical infrastructure and development in the year before that to commemorate the Republic Day. Nepal home to 8 tallest mountains in the world in recent years have seen reduction in scale of snowfall. Some glaciers are at constant risk of outburst. The set of 96 photos, which ranges from the Kanchenjunga mountain in the east to Mt Api and Saipal of Darchula feature in the exhibition.
