Itinerary description
About three km before Deban is Anamika falls, a small waterfall on the M-V road, where several species of frogs and wild flowers could be found.
Water from the fall literally flows through the road down to the forest below and some times damaged the road(land slides) during heavy rains so that no vehicle can cross this particular segment and can only be covered on foot
The starting point of this track is Deban Forest rest house,
Deban is the headquarters of the forest department in Namdapha, and the only site in the park with permanent accommodation for visitors and tourists. Situated amidst evergreen forest on the north bank of the Dihing River, Deban is good for birding and sighting primates like gibbons and capped langur. Flying squirrels call throughout the night, and are easily sighted at dawn and dusk from close range. Just above Deban, on the M-V road, it is sometimes possible, with a good torch, to sight slow loris in the canopy after dark. Barking deer are common, and of late there have even been sightings of serow around Deban. The Dihing at Deban is also an excellent place for viewing White-bellied Heron and Ibisbill. About three km before Deban is Anamika falls, a small waterfall on the M-V road, where several species of frogs occur. During the rains, the areas around Deban teems with herpetofauna of every description, including species like Rhabdops bicolor, a stream-dwelling snake that can be found in the ditches near the rest house. Deban is extremely windy during the day, which is why the Lisu call it Mihi-phi-phi, or ‘place where wind blows all the time'
