Getting to Namdapha National Park

Usually the biggest line in the budget — and the one the estimate above leaves out.

Dibrugarh → Miao

cab · 4h

₹5,000

1 way / person

Margherita → Namdapha

cab · 2h

₹2,500

1 way / person

Cheapest listed route is Margherita → Namdapha by cab. Return for two works out to about ₹10,000 — so a whole trip lands near ₹16,100 for two, travel included.

Fares are typical one-way estimates per person from Namdapha National Park's common gateways, not live prices — book early and expect festival months to run higher.
