Fossil Research Tour

Overview

Fossil Research Tour

Fossil Research Tour in Nepal is unique. It is for those people who wants to know about the fossils and society of Nepal. The package is an ideal choice for students, researchers, sociologists, anthropologists and paleontologists. Nepal Hiking Himalaya has knitted the package in such a way that travelers will get the glimpses of Nepal’s magnificent natural beauty too.

For many years Nepal has been attracting lots of paleontologists. These people are especially interested in studying the Shaligrams of Nepal. These shaligrams are part of Nepalese religion and culture too. Interesting thing about Fossil Research Tour in Nepal is that the availability of fossil types. Even if Nepal is landlocked country we can get the sea shells. This is an example of the theory that mountains were beneath sea earlier.

Fossils are the mineral form of the plants and animals footprinted centuries ago. Sedimentary strata and fossil containing rocks have the fossiliferous content. This research tour in Nepal is also the ecology and geology along with the paleontology. Fossils of Kaligandaki River Bank are billions of years old.

Fossils and Lord Vishnu

The Fossil Stones of Kaligandaki River are the symbol of Lord Vishnu. The god has many avatars and this is one of them. These sacred fossils (shaligrams) are found within the periphery of Damodar Kunda and Tribeni. There are numerous types of shaligrams. Kaal, Billa, Chakrabarti, Garbha etc. are few examples. Unfortunately, these fossils are slowly fading. The commercial market has taken over. In fact there are lots of fake shaligrams. Therefore, Fossil Research Tour is highly important.

You enjoy the majestic beauty of Lower Mustang region too during research. Muktinath Temple, nunnery and Kagbeni village are the places to go during Fossil Research Tour. This tour is more than research. It becomes the vacations.

Moreover, understand the rich culture of Nepal via Fossil Research Tour. We will add the local fossil expert in your team. Always remember Nepal Hiking Himalaya for any kinds of holidays or educational tours.
