[3] Located in three townships - Kanpatlet, Mindat and Matupi, Nat Ma Taung is part of the Chin Hills range.

Surrounded at lower elevations by tropical and subtropical moist forests, Nat Ma Taung's higher elevations form a sky island, home to many temperate and alpine species typical of the Himalaya further north, and many endemic species.

Epiphytes still cover older trees despite illegal picking; so many Coelogyne, Dendrobium and Cymbidium plants can be seen.

The track is not navigable even by a four-wheel drive in the wet season due to severe damage by storm water.

Due to tract damage, tourists, many national and few international, visit the mountain mainly in the dry season.

One main threat that is affecting the bio-diversity of this national park is bush fires ignited by local people.

Foreign visitors during the year are about 100 whereas large number of local people visit the peak almost daily in the dry season.

The engagement of youth as tourist guides will also help protect this beautiful mountain by educating the public as well as making them to be vigilant over destructive activities that are taking place at present.
