Namdapha
National Park
Flora And Fauna: The inhabitants of
the park which could be listed over there are 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.
Three major rivers drain this area.
This unusual wilderness is the home
of the Sangai or Manipur brow- antlered deer. Once hunting reserve for
waterfowl, the tiny park is just 40 sq. km. in area. It was declared a
sanctuary in 1954 when numbers of the highly localised Sangai became
dangerously depleted. The graceful deer, noted for their curved antlers,
live on the floating vegetation on the Logtak Lake, 32 km south of
Imphal. Located in the Ganga delta in West Bengal, spanning the Hooghly in the west and Teulia river in the east, Sunderbans was declared a National Park in 1984. The park covers a vast stretch of mangrove swamp, lush forested islands and small rivers near the Bay of Bengal. Most of the region comprises estuarine mangrove forests and swamps which supports an ecosystem specially adapted to great salinity.
Fauna: Sunderbans is home to the
magnificent Royal Bengal tiger, the park holding more tigers than any
other tiger reserve. More than 400 tigers were recorded during the
mid-1980s. Project tiger has also launched a programme to protect the
Olive Ridley sea turtles. Crocodiles and the gangetic dolphin are to be
found aplenty in the Raimgangal river. The Sajnakhali sanctuary, famous
for its rich avian population, is regarded as a part of the Sunderbans
National Park. Surrounding the institute and itself enclosed by a peaceful forest, is the Orchid Sanctuary, where you can see many of the 454 species of orchid found in Sikkim. The best time to visit the sanctuary are April to May and the end of September to the beginning of December. There is another much larger Orchid sanctuary called Orchidarium, off the main road to Rangpo alongside the Rani Khola, a tributary of the Teesta. It is accessible by public bus and is also usually included on tours to Rumtek Gompa. Upon top of the ridge near white Hall is a Flower Exhibition Center, featuring orchids and seasonal flowers as well as bonsai. White Hall is a residence of chief minister, and there are pleasant walks here through fine gardens.
