| Sharing borders with Myamanar, is home to one
of the most unusual and most significant wildlife sanctuaries
in India. Namdapha's vast bio-diversity supports a fabulous
range of endangered flora and fauna and avian life. Its altitudinal
variation is truly unique, ranging as it does from the sea
level of the valley floors to the snow covered peaks heights
of 4,500mts. The climate here ranges from tropical to the
extreme cold all year round, in its higher reaches.
This unique sanctuary is the natural habitat of all four
great cats. Namdapha is the only natural habitat where you
will find the tiger, the leopard, the clouded leopard and
the snow leopard. It is also home to the endangered takin,
hoolock gibbon, red panda and capped langur.
The sanctuary has 150 species of trees and has a fabulous
wealth of medicinal and ornamental plant life. Much of its
immeasurable botanical bounty has not even been surveyed
because of its inaccessibility. Amongst its immense range
of avian denizens is the great Indian Hornbill, the state
bird of Arunachal.
· Namdapha is accessible from Dibrugar via its entrepot
Miao, 112 km away.
