Nam Ha National Protected Area

Nam Ha National Protected Area covers 2,224 square kilometers of mixed deciduous and evergreen forests with elevations reaching 2,094 meters above sea level.

The Lao government established Nam Ha as a Provincial Protected Area in 1980 before expanding it to a National Protected Area in 1993.

Twenty-five villages within the protected boundaries maintain their traditional practices while participating in forest resource management and conservation efforts.

The protected area requires visitors to arrange guided tours through authorized operators in Luang Namtha city, located 5 kilometers from the park entrance.

Nam Ha contains the only known habitat of Amolops akhaorum, a frog species discovered in 2007, among its 300 recorded bird species and diverse wildlife population.
