The Namdhapa
National Park is famous for the extremely elusive snow leopard,
and the
clouded leopard. Three major rivers drain this area and flow into the Noa
Dihing, a tributary of the Brahmaputra. Some of the inhabitants of the
Park include the gaur or mithun, elephant, Himalayan black bear, takin,
the wild goat peculiar to the Patkoi range, musk deer, slow loris,
binturong and the red panda. Several primate species like the Assamese
macaque, pig-tailed macaque, stump-tailed macaque and the hoolock gibbon
can be found in the area. The inaccessibility of a major portion of the
Park has helped in preserving the pristine quality of the region. The Park
is also a Tiger Reserve under Project Tiger.
