Jatayu (Vulture) Restaurant was established in 2006 when vultures in Nepal were on the brink of extinction. With the mission of protecting endangered vultures and restoring their vital role in Nepal’s ecosystems, the restaurant was built as a safe feeding site where vultures could eat livestock carcasses free from harmful chemicals. By creating safe feeding grounds, involving local communities, and raising awareness, we ensure a healthier environment for both people and wildlife. Jatayu (Vulture) Restaurant in Kawasoti is the first community managed vulture restaurant in the world and stands as a model of how conservation, community, and tourism can thrive together.
