Tucked
away in the northernmost state of Arunachal Pradesh is the Namdapha National
Park.
Three major rivers drain this area and flow into the Noa
Dihing, a tributary of the Brahmaputra. The Park largely inaccessible has
diverse habitats and flora and fauna that are typical of this area.
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 harbors other colorful 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.
