Abstract:	"The Swayambhu Nath Hill has been endowed with a rich cultural heritage that has been a place of worship and an attraction for tourists in Nepal. Forests of SNH are living testaments of traditional environmental precepts. The biological, geographical, historical, religious, social and cultural meaning of these phenomena is such that one aspect cannot be understood without reference to the others. However, these types of forests are slowly dwindling due to rapid urban development pressure, over exploitation of forest products and minimum regeneration growth. The outcome from this study would be an important tool of information that could complement and enrich overall scientific understanding and conserving biodiversities within the religious forests."
