Hundreds of bats can be seen roosting there. Bats are recorded in almost all protected areas of the country.

In Nepal Bats are always neglected for study by government,NGO,INGO, who are working with wildlife,despite their enormous ecological importance. So, the high official personals who are concerned with wildlife management and biodiversity conservation should be made to understand the value of Bats as any other rare species of animals. Bats are still considered as dirty and harmful species by some people. Thus, government, NGO, INGO who are working for wildlife should take initiative steps to educate the local people about the ecological and economical importance of bats
