Ntangki National Park

Ntangki National Park is a protected forest area in Nagaland featuring dense evergreen forests mixed with deciduous trees, bamboo thickets, and numerous streams running through the terrain. This landscape creates habitats for many different animals and plants.

The area received official protection status in 1977 as part of conservation efforts aimed at safeguarding endangered wildlife and their natural habitats. This action reflected the growing recognition of the need to preserve the region's biodiversity.

The Zeme Naga people living near the park have a way of life deeply connected to the forest around them. You can sense how the forest shapes their daily practices and their understanding of living with nature.

The main entrance sits roughly 40 kilometers from Dimapur city and works best to visit between March and November when the ground is dry and easier to walk. Guided tours operate during these months and help you see and understand the forest and its animals.

The park holds one of India's largest populations of Hoolock gibbons, primates known for their loud morning calls that echo through the forest. Hearing these distinctive sounds while walking through the trees is something many visitors remember long after their visit.
