A study of floral diversity and grazing impacts at Pipar in Annapurna Conservation Area in Nepal was carried out in October-November 2004. The aims of the study were to give the general picture of floristic composition and its ecology and to find out impacts of nomadic grazing on the area. Quadrats and transects, direct field observation and interviews were taken to describe vegetation and grazing impacts.

Five habitat types and 67 plant species were identified among which 14 species were autumn foods for pheasants. Grazing pressure has been reduced considerably compared to last 20 years in the area.
