Mehao Wildlife Sanctuary, Wildlife sanctuary in Lower Dibang Valley, India.

The 281-square-kilometer reserve contains dense forests, rolling hills, and lakes that support numerous species of mammals, birds, butterflies, and snakes.

The sanctuary, established in 1980, received its name from Mehao Lake and serves as a protected habitat for Bengal tigers and clouded leopards.

The Idu Mishmi and Adi tribes maintain their traditional practices near the sanctuary, while Nepali communities tend to local fruit orchards.

Visitors can explore the sanctuary through a 12-kilometer trek from Roing, with accommodations available at Sally Lake Hotel and Inspection Bungalow.

The sanctuary houses the rare hoolock gibbon, India's sole ape species, which underwent a translocation program to this reserve in 2014.
