Jeypore Rainforest
Sub Place Details: Jeypore Rainforest is one of the last remaining lowland evergreen forests in India, forming a critical part of the Dehing Patkai landscape. This dense jungle is a biodiversity powerhouse, home to hundreds of species of birds, butterflies, and mammals, including the elusive Clouded Leopard and the Malayan Giant Squirrel. The forest is characterized by its high humidity, massive buttressed trees, and a canopy so thick that sunlight barely reaches the forest floor in many places. It is a place of primal beauty where the air is thick with the scent of damp earth and blooming wild orchids. The Dihing River flows alongside the forest, adding to its scenic charm and providing a habitat for various aquatic species. For nature lovers and adventure seekers, Jeypore offers an immersive experience into a true tropical rainforest, far removed from the modern world. Its ecological significance is unparalleled, serving as a vital carbon sink and a sanctuary for endangered wildlife.

Last Lowland Rainforest: Jeypore is famous for being one of the few places in India where one can experience a true lowland evergreen rainforest.

The forest is also a major center for studying rare orchids, with over 100 species identified within its boundaries.

The Rainforest Stratification: The natural architecture of Jeypore is defined by its five distinct layers of vegetation, starting from the herb-rich forest floor to the emergent giants that tower over 50 meters. The dominant tree species is the Hollong (Dipterocarpus retusus), which can reach incredible heights and girths. The forest spans an area of over 100 square kilometers, with a network of narrow, winding trails carved by both humans and animals. Natural rock formations and deep ravines create a rugged terrain that adds to the forest's majestic feel. Small wooden bridges and forest rest houses built in the traditional "Chang" (stilt) style provide basic infrastructure for researchers and trekkers. These structures are designed to blend into the environment using local materials like bamboo and thatch, ensuring minimal impact on the ecosystem. -
