Visitors from Arunachal Pradesh and Assam are increasingly exploring the Butterfly Park inside Pakke Tiger Reserve at Seijosa in Pakke Kessang district, which is steadily emerging as a major tourist attraction in the region.
Established in 2024 and inaugurated by Arunachal Pradesh Health Minister Biyuram Wahge at the West Bank Forest Camp, the park is contributing to biodiversity conservation while also promoting eco-tourism.
Basang Wahge, Honorary Wildlife Warden, Pakke Tiger Reserve, Pakke Kessang district, said the area is home to more than 360 species of butterflies.
He said the park has been developed to conserve and showcase this rich diversity, while also creating awareness among visitors.
Wahge further said that annual butterfly meets are organised with the participation of local youth and NGOs to encourage community involvement.
According to him, the best time to witness butterflies in large numbers is during the spring season.
The park is attracting a growing number of visitors and is helping raise awareness about butterfly species and their important role in maintaining ecological balance.
Facilities at the park include a butterfly information centre with detailed displays on various species, informative boards installed across the premises, designated selfie points and artistic installations, making it both educational and engaging for visitors.
