Nam Kat Yalo Pa which is located in the Nam Kat basin area in the Phou Hiphi National Conservation Forest in Meuang Xay, Oudomxay province, is planned to become a new Forest Park next year.
The objective is to introduce a new tourism option that focuses on preserving nature and the environment and using natural resources sustainable for tourism purposes.
To achieve this goal, the project will start with a series of training sessions in 11 villages in the area.

Investment in the development of Nam Kat Yola Pa was divided into two phases with the first phase completed this year.
New activities will be also set up for tourists such as a hiking trail to a suspension bridge, zip lines, rock climbing areas, elephant rides, motocross courses, tree house stays, and campgrounds.
Other tourist activities will include five-day treks, tribal village visits, a resort, and lessons on traditional farming techniques and winter crop farming.
The park, in Oudomxay province, is around 583 km from Vientiane, the capital.
