Changlang district

Changlang district extends across 4,662 square kilometers of varied terrain, from dense forests to rolling hills near the Myanmar border.

The district emerged as an independent administrative region in 1987 when authorities separated it from the existing Tirap district.

Multiple indigenous groups maintain their distinct traditions within the district, with the Tangsa people forming the largest community.

The district headquarters in Changlang town manages administrative functions through five legislative assembly constituencies for local governance.

Namdapha National Park within the district contains extensive tropical rainforests that support tigers, clouded leopards, and red pandas.
