Cobra hunt

Wednesday- Thursday Oct 8-9, 2014

On Wednesday we hike down to Kimchi in order to join our herpetologist (amphibians and reptiles specialist) with the aim to locate and capture a King Cobra on the loose...

Some residents have seen it and are getting concern about such a big snake in the surroundings. The snake skin was fund near its den.

We spent 2 days observing and searching an area where the goman (cobra) was last seen.

At the end, we did not captured the beast but while collecting some residents accounts we were welcomed to one resident's house for a cup of kahlo ceyah (black tea) and enjoyed a mitho (delicious) dahl bhaht (Nepal's nat'l dish: lentils, rice and vegetable curry).

At the end, we did not leave with empty hands; a frog was fund and added to the inventory.
