Popa Mountain National Park, National park in Mandalay Region, Myanmar.
The national park contains a dormant volcano rising 1,518 meters above sea level, surrounded by five distinct forest ecosystems across 130 square kilometers.
The Nature and Wildlife Conservation Division established this protected area in 1989 to preserve the natural habitats around Mount Popa.
The mountain holds religious importance with a Buddhist monastery at Taung Kalat and serves as the central location for Nat spirit worship in Myanmar.
Visitors need to climb 777 steps without shoes to reach the monastery complex, while monkeys frequent the path requesting food from tourists.
The park provides sanctuary for the critically endangered Popa Langur monkey, discovered as a distinct species native to these forested slopes.
