Nepal Owl Festival 2026 was successfully held on 1–2 May 2026 at Ajambari Biodiversity Green Park, Lamahi, Deukhuri, Dang. The festival was jointly organized by Friends of Nature Nepal and Ajambari Community Forest Users’ Group.
Many people joined the festival, including local communities, students, volunteers, researchers, conservationists and nature lovers. The festival included an owl museum, owl robot, conservation stalls, birdwatching, nature walk, local games, cultural dances, local food, face painting, nail art and other activities.
The main message of the festival was simple: owls are important for nature and farmers. They help control rats and should be protected.
The festival also helped people understand that owls are not bad birds. They are useful, beautiful and important parts of our environment.
The program became successful because of the strong support of local people, volunteers, schools, partners, media and conservation friends.
