Namdapha in May
Arunachal Pradesh, India
Leeches thrive in the pre-monsoon humidity at this elevation, making forest trails unpleasant
Peak crowds
May is one of Namdapha's busiest months. The score rates conditions — weather, access, value — not how many people you'll share them with. Northeast park busiest in spring (Mar–May) and autumn (Oct–Nov); winter and monsoon months Jun–Aug see very few tourists.
May turns Namdapha into a steam room. The forest is magnificent but oppressive — humidity peaks, leeches own every trail, and rain comes in unpredictable bursts. Wildlife retreats deeper into cover.
The May story
Only for the genuinely committed. The forest demands payment in sweat and leeches.
