Makalu

Makalu-Barun National Park

The Makalu-Barun National Park is worldwide famous for bio-diversity because of its unusually varied geographical setting that begins from 450 metres to 8,463 metres high Mt. Makalu above the sea level.

Ten VDCs of the northern part of Sankhuwasawa district and two VDCs of the neighbouring district of Solukhumbu occupying around 1,500 square kilometres of area were converted into the national park 10 years ago to protect the bio-diversity of the region. The park is located close to the Sagarmatha national park.

The park, jointly developed by a US non-governmental organisation-Woodland Mountain Institute-and the Department of National Park and Wildlife Conservation, was handed over to the government about two years ago.

Kanchenjunga Conservation Area

The Kanchenjunga Conservation Area is known for its rich biodiversity and vibrant cultural heritage. Launched in 1998, the Kanchenjunga Conservation Area project is designed to conserve globally threatened wildlife species such as the snow leopard and red panda while supporting the local communities through health services, informal education and income generating activities.

The Kanchenjunga Conservation Area is knownits spectacular scenery, including Mount Kanchenjunga (8586m), and rich cultural heritage represented by the 5,254 inhabitants living within the four Village Development Committees (VDCs) of Lelep, Olangchung Gola, Tapethok and Yamphudin.
