An honest note
This is a hard expedition — long travel, basic conditions, uncertain sightings of seldom-seen animals. It is for the committed naturalist who values wildness and discovery over comfort and guarantees.
A heavy, peculiar goat-antelope of the high forest — one of the region's signature and seldom-seen mammals.
An Eastern Himalayan list that includes range-restricted species and real rarities, in barely-birded forest.
The journey itself is part of it — deep into the far east of Arunachal, beyond almost all tourism.

The Mishmi Hills are the homeland of the Idu Mishmi, whose traditional beliefs have long included taboos that protected wildlife and forest — a culture intertwined with the ecology of these mountains. Travelling here means moving respectfully through their land.
As a sensitive border region, the area requires permits and careful local arrangement, and tourism is small and best kept that way — part of what keeps the Mishmi Hills wild.
We run the Mishmi Hills with Idu Mishmi guides and local arrangements — the only responsible, and only workable, way into country this remote.
Working barely-birded forest for Eastern Himalayan rarities.
The search for the Mishmi takin, red panda and the region's elusive wildlife.
Travelling with the people whose homeland and traditions protect these forests.
Our team handles the permits, the zones and the timing, so we answer for your sightings — not a stranger hoping it works out.
The Mishmi Hills have no safari circuit — they run on local knowledge and trust. We work with Idu Mishmi guides who know the forest and the birds, so a hard expedition actually comes together.
Our naturalists work the alarm calls, the tracks and the light — they would rather earn you one real sighting than tick a list.
The Mishmi Hills, with Kaziranga and the Brahmaputra, make the ultimate northeast trip — frontier mountains and floodplain wilderness. We route the expedition and the plains together.
