Namdapha in February
Arunachal Pradesh, India
Go in February—tiger sightings peak during dry season and wildflower blooms are starting, though accommodation remains spartan and trails may be dusty.
February keeps Namdapha's wildlife window wide open. The forest floor dries enough for deeper penetration, orchids start their spectacular season, and bird activity intensifies as breeding season approaches.
