How to reach Namdapha Tiger Reserve
| To reach Namdapha,
Dibrugarh airport and Tinsukia rail station are the nearest points.
Assam State Transport Corporation and Arunachal Pradesh State Transport
buses ply daily from Dibrugarh to Miao via Tinsukia, Margherita,
Ledo, Jagun and Kharsang. The attractive little township of Miao
on the banks of the river Dehing in the Changlang District of Arunachal
Pradesh is a threshold entry for Namdapha. The distance between
Dibrugarh and Miao is hardly 160 km. |
Forest Rest House, Deban |
A further one-hour drive through an enchanting 26 km stretch of forest
road interspread by several streams, runoffs, falls, narrow gorges brings
a new destination - Deban, a tiny hamlet nestled between the gentle folds
of the Patkai range of hills of the great Himalays. It is advisable to
have own transport, as taxies from Miao to Deban could prove very expensive.
The best season to visit the park is from October to April, till the onset
of monsoons.
