The Nam Ha NPA's landscape is very diverse, characterized by and ever changing mosaic of swidden fields and regenerating forests.

The very old forest remains in a few remote areas due to inaccessibility and local custom. Within the NPA boundaries there are two peaks that exceed 2,000 meters, as well as an abundance of rivers and streams. The NPA's main purpose is to protect biodiversity and habitat for wildlife found in northern Laos.

The mountainous center of Luang Namtha Province has been designated as the Nam Ha National Protected Area (NPA) in 1993. It was first established by a Prime Minister's Decree and stretches from the Chinese border through the middle of the province, spanning five districts and covering over 222,400 hectares. The Nam Ha NPA's landscape is very diverse, characterized by and ever changing mosaic of swidden fields and regenerating forests.
