Kamlang Wildlife Sanctuary

Kamlang Wildlife Sanctuary covers 783 square kilometres in eastern Arunachal Pradesh, named after the Kamlang River that flows through it. Set up in 1989, it was later declared India's 50th tiger reserve. The Lang River marks its northern edge and Namdapha National Park its southern one. Mishmi communities living around the sanctuary trace their descent from King Rukmo of the Mahabharata.

Forests range from tropical wet evergreen below 1,200 metres to alpine growth on Daphabum peak, with about 150 tree species and 49 orchids recorded. The sanctuary holds tiger, leopard, clouded leopard, snow leopard, marbled cat and leopard cat, as well as elephants, and six primates including the eastern hoolock gibbon, capped langur and Bengal slow loris. In its core, at about 1,500 metres, lies Glaw Lake, some 8 square kilometres in area, which in 2026 became Arunachal Pradesh's first Ramsar site.
