Mehao Lake

Mehao Lake is a natural freshwater lake located inside the Mehao Wildlife Sanctuary near Roing in Lower Dibang Valley district, Arunachal Pradesh. Situated at an altitude of about 900 metres amid dense forests of the Mishmi Hills, the lake is known for its clear waters and tranquil forested setting. Accessible via a forest trek from the sanctuary gate, it is a notable natural attraction for trekkers and nature visitors to the Roing area.

Visitors can expect a forested trek of about 2-3 km from the Mehao Wildlife Sanctuary entry gate to reach the lake through dense evergreen forest and hilly terrain. The lake is a calm, natural water body surrounded by forest and hills with no major built structures. The experience is primarily nature-based, involving trekking, sightseeing, photography and birdwatching within the sanctuary landscape. Facilities at the lake itself are minimal and the area is largely undisturbed.

The lake lies within the traditional area of the Idu Mishmi community and is valued as part of the natural heritage of the Mishmi Hills and Mehao Wildlife Sanctuary landscape.
