Miao is a tiny village on the banks of Nao Dhing river, the place we will be stopping for the day. We will spend our night at the Namdapha national camp.

On the 3rd day, we will be en route to our final drive of 20 km to Deban from where we will begin our trek. Starting by passing over an adventurous path over the Noa Dhing River through a bamboo bridge and crossing a small river before entering into the rain forest. Our first encounter will be with the bamboo and cane forest before we come across all sorts of trees and forests. The forest lightens up with the sweet sound of Hollock Gibbons, the chirping of birds such as woodpeckers, Maroon Oriole, and Hornbill.
By the evening we will reach our destination. Our campsite will be located in the center of the rainforest, giving you the exposure to various types of insects, animals, trees and fungi, etc.

After having our meal, we will continue our walk across the rainforest. On the way you might see some great Hornbill, and Grey-Cheeked Warbler, and Reah Headed Trogon. On reaching Ranijheel that used to be a river but is now dried, we will retire for the day and take a rest at our campsite.
This we believe is what makes the rainforest trekking in Namdapha National Park special. You will get to see a diverse range of species and on your journey back. You will find yourself much closer to nature than you were before. In simple words, it’s nothing less than heaven for nature lovers.

On our 5th day, we will be descending downwards to Namdapha River to set up our camp at the most picturesque place at the banks of this river. On our way, we will be crossing Bamboo, evergreen, primary, and secondary forest which is a great place for activities like bird watching. We can if lucky sight some red panda. If we found healthy conditions then we might be able to have a grand view of the snow-covered Dafa Boom Range. The night stay will be in the camp.

We will be trekking to Embeong from Firmbase. Embeong is a village nearby that contains a section of the Lisu tribe that lives a remarkable and sustainable life. This place has houses made completely from various organic materials like flowers, fruits, and farm-grown organic products. Starting part of trekking can be a little exhausting as you will trekking alongside the river beds meaning you will be facing loose boulders but after crossing the river bed trekking becomes quite easy. On reaching our destination we will be staying overnight at the camps.

Day seven’s trek will mainly include trekking alongside the Noa Dhing river and passing through grasslands. We will then be climbing up towards a hillrock only to descend at a stream from where we will be beginning our climbing up on our next hill only to trek down at our campsite near the Noa Dhing River. We will be staying overnight in these yet again picturesque campsite. We think by the time trekkers reach home they miss spending their nights at such picturesque places which can totally work as a remedy to remove all your fatigue.

On day 8, after breakfast, we will be starting a steep ascend from our camps through forests. After getting to the top and glancing at the beautiful view in front of us, we will begin our descent to begin with our final climb which takes us on the main Miao-Vijaynagar road, marking the end of the trek. After our ascend to the road our transport will take us to the Miao. We will be staying in Miao overnight in our camps.
