Forget the twenty-eight hour flight to Kathmandu! Open year round, our Himalayan Highlands exhibit will transport you to the high passes and remote mountaintops in Nepal—no sherpa required!
This one-acre naturalistic habitat provides a home for Asia's highly endangered snow leopards, red pandas, Temminck's tragopan (a kind of pheasant), and white-naped cranes.
A winding path will lead you among hearty rhododendrons, oaks, and conifers, around boulders, under cave ledges, and across bridges spanning ravines. A Tibetan monk was commissioned to decorate the graphic pylons scattered throughout this AZA-award-winning exhibit.
