Message From Our Principal

We are entering into an era of opportunities that is surrounded with challenges. The main challenge for us is the shift from city-centered small building with additional hired facilities to a bigger building that will be sufficient to cater all our needs, with clean environment, in the lap of forests needed for practical. However, it is bit far compared to the present location.

"When I first decided to apply to the Forestry program at Kathmandu Forestry College, I never thought that it would be such a remarkable experience. It would be a long essay if I am to explain how amazingly the four years of my Bachelor’s Degree in KAFCOL has shaped my career path."

KAFCOL, it just feels like yesterday that I was a freshman in the college. Time literally flew by. My days at KAFCOL were the best. Not only did I learn forestry and its technicalities, but I learned the way of life there. It was the place where I had my visions for life straightened out.
