was declared a Tiger Reserve in 1983.
The areas vegetation may be broadly classified into tropical,
temperate and alpine vegetation stretching from monsoon forests right
up to the snows. The valley is covered with a mix of Assam valley
Tropical Rain forest and North Indian Tropical Moist Deciduous forest.
The avifauna is a unique mix of Himalayan, Sino- Tibetan and
Indo-Burmese forms. The mountainous terrain, criss-crossed by
innumerable streams supports a subtropical humid climate sustaining
some of the best mamallian fauna in the sub-continent. More than 60%
of the land mammals genera found in India is represented in Namdapha
