Mishmi Hills
Birding Trip | April 12 – 17, 2022 (5N - 6D) | Ex. Dibrugarh Airport
Mishmi Hills
Tucked away in the North-Eastern corner of our beautiful country, are the rainy, misty, and beautiful slopes of the Mishmi Hills of Arunachal Pradesh. It’s a geomorphic wonder, where the mighty Himalayas takes a turn southward. It is the magical land where the ice-capped peaks of the Himalaya taper down to meet the soft, lush floodplains of the mighty Brahmaputra. Steeply sloping landform, sub-tropical evergreen forest vegetation, and high rainfall characterize the area. Nowhere else in the Himalayas can one find so much pristine forest and intact mega-biodiversity. The natural vegetation here stretches in an unbroken sequence from the sub-tropics to the mountain tundra. Sub-tropical evergreen forests are the most severely altered in the Himalayas and the Mishmi area is one of the last strongholds for many species dependent on this forest type.
The beautiful mountains of Mishmi Hills in Arunachal Pradesh is a heaven for bird watchers and photographers. You will find around 650+ different bird species and 100+ mammal species.
