Therefore, the present investigation was carried out to assess the antiviral effects of some native plants used by the local people belonging to Gurungs and Thakalis of Manang and Mustang districts that lie in the Annapurna Conservation Area Project (ACAP). Permission for the field study as well as the collection of voucher specimens was received from the headquarters of ACAP in Pokhara. The plants were selected on the basis of ethnopharmacological records, so the prospect of finding new bioactive compounds is always promising. The name  of the plants, respective families, the parts used for the  extract preparation and traditional uses of the plants are  listed in Table 1 .
