Miao Mini Zoo

Miao Mini Zoo is a small zoological park located in Miao town, Changlang District, Arunachal Pradesh, on the fringe of Namdapha National Park and Tiger Reserve. Established to house rescued animals and showcase the fauna of the Namdapha region, it exhibits species such as hoolock gibbon, leopard, Himalayan black bear, deer, civets and various birds and primates. Set amid forested surroundings, it serves as an educational and recreational stop for visitors en route to Namdapha.

Visitors can expect a compact, forested zoo with fenced enclosures and cages housing mammals, primates, deer and birds native to Arunachal Pradesh and the Namdapha landscape. The setting is green and quiet, with walking paths between enclosures, informational signboards, and views of surrounding forests. It is a short, low-intensity visit focused on wildlife viewing, photography and nature education, often combined with a trip to Namdapha National Park.

Miao Mini Zoo was established by the Arunachal Pradesh Forest Department as a rescue and rehabilitation centre and ex-situ conservation facility for animals from the Namdapha landscape. It was developed to house rescued, orphaned or injured wildlife and to create awareness about the biodiversity of Namdapha National Park among visitors and local communities.
