The first Biodiversity Museum of Laos has been opened at Namkat Yorla Pa
Somphet Maopaseuth, the owner of Yorla Pa sanctuaries, created an eco-tourism destination in a forest to preserve wildlife and combat harmful hunting practices. His efforts led to the opening of the Nam Kat Yorla Pa Biodiversity Museum, a milestone for conservation and sustainability in the area.
This museum is a treasure trove of nature’s finest, showcasing a vibrant cast of characters like snakes, frogs, lizards, butterflies, beetles, and stunning orchids all native to the Nam Kat forest, each with its own fascinating backstory.
To catch these critters in action, plan a trip to Nam Kat Yorla Pa during the magical months of March, April, May, October, and November. Don’t miss this extraordinary experience! If you’re short on time, swing by the Nam Kat Yorla Pa Biodiversity Museum before heading off on a forest adventure to the Nam Kat Forest and its waterfall, where unexpected encounters with nature’s wonders may await.
