Daily Life Of Monkeys In Nepal
A monkey climbs up the tree in a forest area in Kathmandu, Nepal, on November 19, 2025. Nepal is home to four monkey species: the Rhesus macaque (red monkey), Assamese macaque (pahare monkey), and two types of langurs--Nepal langur and Tarai langur. Some experts argue there may be three langur species in Nepal, but further research is needed. Globally, there are about 300 monkey species. Of these, the Assamese macaque is listed as a protected species under Nepal's National Parks and Wildlife Conservation Act. The langurs are listed in Appendix I of CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species), while the Rhesus and Assamese macaques are in Appendix II. According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List, the Assamese macaque and Tarai langur are endangered, while the Rhesus macaque and Nepal langur are classified as species of least concern.
