Two Chitwan rhinos will come to Kathmandu Tuesday on their way to China

Preparations are being made to send two rhinoceros to China via Kathmandu, in Chitwan, on Tuesday, July 10, 2018.

Chitwan, August 13

Officials of the Chitwan National Park say they are sending two one-horned rhinoceros–one male and one female–to Kathmandu on Tuesday as they are scheduled to fly for China on Thursday.

The rhinos constitute the second pair of four rhinos that Nepal is gifting the northern neighbour.

Information Officer Nurendra Aryal at the National Park says all preparations have been over to see off Solti (two-year-old male) and Mitini (a female of the same year). They will leave their habitat at 5 pm tomorrow.

Earlier, the Government of Nepal had sent the first pair of rhinos to China on July 12.

The officials of the Park say that there will be no problem in translocation of the rhinos since they are familiar with the humans.

Like before, the Park veterinarians, technicians and assistants will be sent this time too together with the rhinos.

During his visit to China two years ago, Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli had pledged to gift two pairs of rhinos.
