Namdapha
National Park is tucked away in the northern-most state of Arunachal
Pradesh. A tributary of the Brahmaputra, three major rivers drain
this area and flow into the Noa Dihing. Typical habitats of flora
and fauna that are of this area are accessible along with diverse
habitats in this Park. The majestic gaur or mithun, elephant, Himalayan
black bear, takin, the wild goat peculiar to the Patkoi range, musk
deer, slow loris, binturong and the red panda are all found here.
The predators include the tiger, leopard, the rare snow leopard
and clouded leopard in the higher reaches of the hills. A number
of primate species are to be seen in the Park, such as the Assamese
macaque, pig-tailed macaque, stump- tailed macaque and the distinctive
hoolock gibbon. Hornbills, jungle fowl and pheasants flap their
noisy way through the jungle, which harbours other colourful bird
species. The inaccessibility of the greater part of the Park has
helped to keep the forests in their pristine state. This is also
a Tiger Reserve under Project Tiger.
