About Deban
The forest rest house inside Namdapha, 26 km from the Miao gate on a rough forest road, on a bluff above the Noa-Dihing with the hills of the park rising behind. It is the only place to stay inside the park, a plain old bungalow with a dormitory and a kitchen, and the base for the walking trails and the multi-day treks. Evenings on the river beach below are the best part. Book ahead; it fills in winter.
What to see and do
- Forest rest house above the Noa-Dihing
- Base for the Namdapha treks
- River beach below the bungalow
- Gibbons and hornbills at dawn
Part of Patkai, Naga and Mizo Hills.
