By Road: From Tinusukia or Dibugarh, the journey to Miao,
headquarters of the National Park and the Tiger Reserve, has to be
done by road, over a distance of 150-km. Then, a forest road
stretching over around 28-km gives access to the protected area up
to a place called Deban, which has a lovely forest rest house and
some other accommodation for the field staff. Beyond this area
there is no road as such and all movement inside the reserve has
to be on foot through dense forest and steep hill ranges with
streams and rivers flowing in between.
