Kamlang Wildlife Sanctuary


The Kamlang Wildlife Sanctuary is securely cradled in the heart of the Lohit district which in turn is positioned in the state of Arunachal Pradesh. The Kamlang Wildlife Sanctuary is carved out of the immense woodland that is known by the designation of Kamlang Reserved Forest. Thus, it is absolutely needless to mention that this sanctuary drew its name from this Reserved Forest.

A sprawling plot that measures approximately 783 square kilometers is allocated to the Kamlang Wildlife Sanctuary in Arunachal Pradesh to cater an appropriate domicile to the spectacular wild beasts, especially the ones who are on the verge of complete extinction from the face of this planet. Indeed, the pulsating landscape that constitutes this mammoth sanctuary is dowered with the auspicious presence of exotic plant species which further augments its splendor. These include quite a few exceptional taxonomic groups of floras that is confined to the 'land of the dawn lit mountains' only.

The jaunt aimed towards the Kamlang Wildlife Sanctuary at Arunachal Pradesh is truly very comfortable and joyous as the closest air head is situated at Dibrugarh which is sited at a stone's throw from the Kamlang Wildlife Sanctuary of Arunachal Pradesh. Daily flights provided by the Indian Airlines destined for Dibrugarh depart from airports at Kolkata as well as Delhi. Flights belonging to Jet Airways and Sahara Airways also ply between these venues.

Another exciting and thrilling means of transport is the Helicopter Service that is chiefly procured by the Pawan Hans that operates between the locales of Tezu and Itanagar as well as between Namsai and Itanagar. Tinkusia is the nearest railway station that is approximately 135 kilometers away from the sanctuary. The best time extends from the month of October through to the month of April.
