Royal Gokarna Game Reserve
For several years the former Royal Gokarna Game Reserve was a much-visited safari park of 20 sq. km (73/4 sq. mi.) which housed many species of birds, deer, wild boar and monkeys. Unfortunately this last oasis of Kathmandu is no longer open to the public. A luxury hotel and associated golf course, the "Gokarna Forest Golf Resort" has been built in order to attract wealthy visitors.
