Namdapha
Namdapha National Park is the largest wild life sanctuary in India, with a total area of 1985 sq km, and is located in the Changlang district of Arunachal Pradesh near the Myanmar border.
This park is recognized as one of the richest areas in biodiversity and has the credit of being the northernmost evergreen rainforest.
Checkout How to reach Namdapha
Miao, a village located on the fringes of Namdapha.
Miao is a small settlement with some modern government quarters, a few traditional Singpho houses, a Buddhist monastery, a mini zoo and a museum, an inspection bungalow, an eco-tourist hut and a cute little market.
The Singpho tribe of Arunachal Pradesh inhabit the district of Changlang and are mainly Theravada Buddhists. They are traditional tea planters.
The Singpho produce their tea by plucking the tender leaves and drying them in the sun and exposing them to the night dew for three days and nights.
The leaves are then placed in a hollow bamboo and exposed to smoke over a fire. This way, their tea can be kept for years without losing its flavour.
About 25 km and 2 hours from Miao lies Namdapha National Park, a wildlife enthusiast and biologists’ dream come true. The road on the way is so bad that only the bigger vehicles dare to venture into the forest.
We were first stopped at a check post manned by the 18 Assam Rifles. The army is overpowering with its presence in Arunachal Pradesh and you can be stopped at any check post. Visitors entering the state are checked for their Inner Line Permits and Tourist Permits that must be obtained before entering the Namdapha National Park.
In advance have your travel guide/operator check with the forest headquarters within the park and the only accommodation option at Namdapha.
The drive takes you through a jungle path that may take about an hour-and-a-half, depending on the state of repair of the roads or the intermittent landslides that occur in these regions.
