Ziro
Talley Valley Wildlife Sanctuary is a pristine and almost completely untrafficked temperate forest reserve just 30 km from Ziro that contains extraordinary biodiversity including clouded leopard, red panda, Mishmi takin, and dozens of rare orchid and rhododendron species. Trekking into Talley Valley through untouched broadleaved Himalayan forest is one of the most adventurous and rewarding wildlife experiences in Arunachal Pradesh — and one of India's great undiscovered wildlife trekking destinations.
Permits for Talley Valley must be obtained from the Arunachal Pradesh Forest Department. Only small groups are permitted and a locally registered guide is mandatory — this sanctuary is a serious wilderness area, not a tourist park.
