The Annapurna Conservation Area Project (ACAP) under the National Trust for Nature Conservation (NTNC) has heightened wildlife patrolling in the Lomanthang region. This initiative aims to deter potential illegal activities during the winter season when many community members migrate to lower areas.
With reduced human presence in the region, the likelihood of illegal hunting, poaching, and resource exploitation increases. To address this, NTNC ACAP has deployed enhanced patrolling teams to monitor critical zones and protect the region’s unique biodiversity.

Lomanthang, known for its pristine landscapes and rare wildlife species, requires continuous vigilance to maintain ecological balance and deter activities that threaten conservation efforts. NTNC’s proactive measures highlight its commitment to preserving both the natural habitat and the cultural heritage of this iconic region.
The patrolling initiative is also part of broader conservation strategies, ensuring that the area remains a safe haven for its diverse flora and fauna, even during periods of decreased human activity. Local authorities and conservation stakeholders have urged continued cooperation to ensure the sustainability of Lomanthang’s ecological and cultural treasures.
