Area (ACA) is spread over 7,629 sq. km. of Kaski,
Myagdi, Parbat and Manang districts in northwest
Nepal. Established in 1986, the conservation
area is surrounded by high mountains and deep
valleys. A mosaic of ethnic groups has carved
lifestyle out of its steep terraces and barren
plateaus. The conservation area is also home
to 1,226 species of plants, 38 species of orchids,
9 species of Rhododendrons, 101 species of mammals,
478 species of birds, 39 species reptiles and
22 species of amphibians.

trekking destination in Nepal. Annapurna Treks, More than 40,000
tourists annually visit the conservation area.
The Annapurna Conservation region is the most
geographically and culturally diverse protected
area anywhere in the World. Nowhere else in
Nepal can one meet and experience such a wide
variety of human culture. There are seven ethnic
groups living and working in this region, from
Hindu farmers to Tibetan Lamas. Due to the extremes
of elevation the region contains a remarkable
diversity of flora; from sub-tropical lowland
forests of oak, bamboo and rhododendron in the
south to the high alpine meadows and windswept
desert plateaus in the north, bordering Tibet.
The King Mahendra Trust for Nature Conservation
(KMTNC), a leading non-profit and non-governmental
environmental organization in Nepal, launched
the Annapurna Conservation Area Project (ACAP)
in 1986. ACAP’s grassroots philosophy
involves local people in all aspects on conservation
and development. The project aims to improve
the socio-economic condition of the local people
by integrating conservation and development.
It encourages local people’s participatory
involvement in the management of natural resources
and community development activities.
