This session explores the movement patterns and flight behaviors of the Himalayan vulture (Gyps himalayensis) as it migrates along the Central Asian Flyway. It examines the vulture's remarkable adaptations to high-altitude flight, where the air is thin, and how these birds manage to navigate such challenging environments. The second part of the session delves into the cultural and spiritual significance of the Himalayan vulture in Bhutan, particularly within the Chod lineage, where the bird symbolizes profound spiritual themes of transformation and the transcendence of obstacles. Together, these discussions highlight the interplay between nature, science, and culture in understanding the majestic Himalayan vulture.
