In general, the purpose behind establishing national parks is preservation of indigenous plants and animals, and historical places - the biotic environment and cultural heritage. Although priorities may differ in space and time, safeguarding such valuable national assets demands that specific areas be permanently set aside or at least temporarily restricted from human interference so that natural resources are not relentlessly depleted through irrational use by humans.
The aim of this paper is to qualitatively review the past and present situation of Sagarmatha National Park (SNP) in terms of conservation of natural resources and analyse the problems in managing it. Major constraints and their solutions to promote ecologically sustainable development of the park and its people are also proposed.
