Pakhui Tiger Reserve

The protected area stretches across 862 square kilometers of tropical rainforests, grasslands, and wetlands at an elevation of 2040 meters in Arunachal Pradesh.

The Indian government established Pakhui as a protected area in 1966 to maintain populations of Bengal tigers and preserve the natural environment.

The Bugun and Miji tribes near the reserve maintain traditional practices of forest resource management and participate in wildlife conservation initiatives.

Visitors require entry permits from the forest department and should plan their trips between October and March for optimal wildlife observation conditions.

The reserve contains multiple ecosystems supporting populations of hoolock gibbons, Asiatic black bears, and over 300 bird species within its boundaries.
