Mount Victoria National Park

Mount Victoria National Park protects Mount Nat Ma Taung, a peak rising above 3,000 meters with steep slopes, deep gorges, and rolling terrain throughout the protected area. The landscape displays dramatic elevation changes and varied natural formations.

The park received official protected status in 1994 and was later nominated as a Tentative World Heritage Site. These designations mark its growing recognition as an important conservation area.

The surrounding region is home to multiple ethnic groups whose villages and settlements dot the landscape around the park boundaries. Their daily practices and traditional ways of living remain visible throughout the area.

The best time to visit is October through May when weather conditions are more stable and easier for exploring. The town of Kanpetlet serves as the main gateway and base for accessing the park.

The mountain functions as an isolated highland realm where plant species flourish that do not exist in the lowland regions surrounding it. These distinctive conditions result from the high elevation and differing environmental factors.
