Pokhara International Airport Faces A High Risk Of Bird Strikes.
A bird is seen near the runway of Pokhara International Airport in Pokhara, Nepal, on March 18, 2025, with the Annapurna range in the backdrop. The airport faces a high risk of bird strikes. A landfill site once located near the new airport attracts birds of prey like vultures, kites, and eagles, posing a major threat to aircraft. Although the landfill is now relocated, birds continue to remain a concern. (Photo by Yunish Gurung/NurPhoto)
