We drove to Miao, Changlang District & reached Miao at 07:30pm. It's a small village of 17k population. We stayed at government circuit house. It's reasonably maintained. In the morning at 09:00am, we started from Miao for Deban, one of spots, where there is only government settlement & establishments. It is situated far from even sparsely populated areas. We drove along with Noa-Dehing river for about 25 kms and reached Deban. It has trekking hostel and some guest-houses. We stayed in forest log-hut. Deban is situated on banks and at rendezvous of three rivers, viz. 1. Nao-Dehing(Nao-Dihing), 2. Namdapha, 3. Deban. It's a very wide width of meeting point. (Nao-Dehing ultimately merges with river Brahmputra.) It's a wonderful view. On other two sides, there are dense & virgin forests. On one of the sides, there is a trek for adventurists. Of course, this time it's not ready for trekking, because trek isn't made clear even for trekking. It's about 36 kms long trek. There are so many trekking points on the way. I must say that I have visited so many forests since my childhood across the country & world I have not visited such virgin forest like Namdapha. Namdapha forest is very large forest on common border of Hindustan and Myanmar. It is such dense forest that no physical marking of border between the two countries, but there is imaginary line on the maps of both countries. I am surprised to learn that elephant ride is available on payment to visit this forest. It took two hours. Two persons can be accommodated. I and my wife are here. We were taken to dense and virgin part of Namdapha forest crossing Nao-Dehing river. It was really very exciting experience. Our elephant-Vanraj is very young of 20 years old. Our Mahavat Hemant is also very young. We started from Deban base camp at 12.15 pm and reached the forest within half an hour in the forest crossing all three rivers. We entered the forest from small slit opening. I felt my dream of visit such forest came true. It was time around 0100 pm we moved in the forest, but at some places darkness made us to believe that it was 0600 pm. We also came across various small and big springs, which were egger to meet river Nao-Dehing. I found tranquility in the forest, which is beyond my capacity of explaining it in words. I am very much indebted to Justice AK Goel who inspired me to visit this forest and also RFOs Mr. H Tungkhang and Mr. Likha Obi, who made all the arrangement for my visit to Namdapha forest at Deban.

🌏Incredible biodiversity national forest park is located at the junction of the Indian Sub-Continent Biogeography region and the Indo-China Biogeography Region. It's a faunal gateway through which the Indo-Chinese elements of the oriental as well as Palaearctic fauna could spread to India and colonize when the Indian Peninsula and Asiatic mass were linked through land mass. The most of the faunal dispersal has taken place through this gateway due to the natural barriers of the Thar desert in the West, the great oceans in the South and the high Himalayas in the North. As a result of this extensive diversity of fauna is observed from the fact that in every group along the evolutionary pathway, a large and diverse species complex exist in the area. The faunal group inhabiting soil, ground, litter, under stone, decaying woods and grasslands are 1285 species as below. Earthworms::10 species, Leeches::5 species, Insects::430 species, Butterflies & Moths::140 species, Fishes:: 76 species, Amphibians:: 25 species, Reptiles:: 50 species, Birds::453 species, Mammals::137 species as information from the office.....🌲🦩🐦🐯🐘🏔️🏞️🐆🦒

The Namdapha Tiger Reserve was established in 1983 as the country's 15th Tiger Project. It covers a core area of 1985.245 sq. km and a buffer area of 245 sq. km. It is named after the Namdapha River, which originates from Daphabum and flows into the Noa-Dehing River. This reserve is a paradise for wildlife enthusiasts and conservationists, providing a glimpse into the region's rich biodiversity. Due to its unique features, this region boasts diverse plant and animal life. The different types of forests found here are evergreen forests, moist deciduous forests, sub-tropical forests and alpine. The location of the Forest Rest House (FRH) where we stayed was fantastic, and one could easily spend the entire day sitting on the bench by the Noa Dehing River bank with cups of tea. The overall arrangements were also good. We enjoyed our three nights at Namdapha with peace and solitude. Entry time: 05 hrs to 17 hrs.

Another treat for wildlife enthusiasts in Arunachal Pradesh, Namdapha National Park is the largest protected area and the third largest national park in India. The towering mountains, dense jungles, and many water bodies in the national park harbour an extensive range of wildlife species including snow leopard, red panda, and clouded leopard, and the park is thus considered to be one of the most excellent areas in terms of biodiversity. The activities that can be enjoyed at Namdapha are wildlife and landscape photography, boat ride, jungle camping, jungle safari, and much more. Timing: 8 AM to 5 PM Entry Fee: INR 50 per person Best Time to Visit: October to April

Namdapha National Park is about half hour from Miao, Arunachal Pradesh. There are nice cottages by the Government where you can stay. Elephant rides are available but you need to book that in advance.If you love trekking, there are amazing treks too which the guides/staffs will let you know.Dense jungle which gives you a great feel of the wild. Lots of Hornbills all around. But since it is dense, sighting of wild animal is rare. We did not see anything, though our guide saw a spotted deer crossing the road while trekking upto Haldibari. Plenty of birds - so do carry a big lens/binoculars.
