| The
Namdhapa National Park is famous for the extremely elusive snow leopard, and the
clouded leopard. Three major rivers drain this area and flow into the Noa Dihing,
a tributary of the Brahmaputra. Some of the inhabitants of the Park include the
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. Several
primate species like the Assamese macaque, pig -tailed macaque, stump-tailed macaque
and the hoolock gibbon can be found in the area. The inaccessibility of a major
portion of the Park has helped in preserving the pristine quality of the region.
The Park is also a Tiger Reserve under Project Tiger.
The
best time to visit the Park is from October to March.
The nearest rail-head is Ledo (56 km) and the nearest airport
is Dibrugarh (163 km). The Government Tourist Lodge, Miao and Rest House at
Namchik are the available means of accomodation.
