What do we know about Intanki National Park?

Filled with vast stretches of equatorial forest and grasslands, Intanki is one of the finest wildlife protected areas of Nagaland. It became a national park in 1993.

The thick rain forests in the Park offer a perfect habitat for all types of mammals, birds, reptiles and insects. Intanki is full of animals like Hoolock gibbon, golden langur, palm civets, tiger, black stork, sloth bear, wild dogs, flying squirrel, monitor lizard, and python.

It also has a large bird population; the birdlife here ranges from pheasants to hornbills and white-breasted kingfishers.

Intanki is also known as Ntangki National Park. The name Ntangki is derived from the Zeme dialect of the Zeliangrong tribe.
