Namdapha is a combination of two Singpho words, “Nam” & “Dapha” which means “forest” and “the origin” respectively. The park, which has an area of around 1985 Sq Km, was declared in 1983 and designated as the country’s fifteenth tiger reserve in the same year. The largest protected region within the Eastern Himalayan biodiversity hotspot, Namdapha National Park in Arunachal Pradesh, is a “dream destination” for wildlife enthusiasts. The national park is renowned for being the only park in India to hold all four big cat species—leopard, tiger, clouded leopard, and snow leopard.
