Exploring The Northeast Forest

India's northeast is a different country of forest — rainforest rolling into montane oak and rhododendron, cut by river valleys few travellers ever see. This is an expedition-style journey for the patient: long walks under the canopy, quiet mornings on ridgelines, and a cast of endemic species that belongs nowhere else on earth.

The journey

An Introduction

Perched on the rolling crests of the Eastern Himalayas, Singalila National Park is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts and photographers, offering vibrant landscapes and diverse wildlife. The park's rhododendron forests, magnolia clusters, and bamboo thickets provide essential habitats for the elusive red panda and a multitude of bird species. Visitors are greeted by blooming rhododendrons and panoramic views of the Himalayan peaks, creating picturesque scenes for photography. Singalila's small streams and moisture-laden climate support lush vegetation, ideal for red pandas and endemic birds like the blood pheasant and fire-tailed myzornis. Tracking red pandas through the bamboo understory requires patience but offers rewarding encounters with these charming creatures. Birdwatchers can enjoy the symphony of calls from high-altitude specialists. Every sighting and photograph contributes to conservation efforts, highlighting the park's biodiversity. Singalila offers an expedition into the heart of the Eastern Himalayas, promising profound encounters with its natural wonders.
