Located in the Changlang district,
Namdapha is famous for its wild life
sanctury, which has been declared as a national
park. 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
