Kamlang Wildlife Sanctuary

Kamlang Wildlife Sanctuary is a nature reserve in Lohit district, Assam, encompassing tropical forest with high biodiversity. The forest here is home to tigers, elephants, and many other animal species living in close proximity.

The site received official protection status in 1989 as a wildlife sanctuary with strict conservation rules. This marked an important step in protecting the forest and its animal populations for the future.

The Mishmi people have lived in these lands for generations and maintain deep connections to the forest and waterways around them. Their way of life remains visible in how they use and respect the environment today.

The area is accessible by bus from nearby towns, and visitors should know the region is wet and rainy most of the year. Warm clothing and waterproof gear are important for safely exploring the forests.

A hidden lake lies high in the mountains and is surrounded by dense forest, making it a special place reachable only by long treks. This remote natural spot is often overlooked by visitors even though it offers a striking contrast to the surrounding wilderness.
