Dampa Tiger Reserve, Mizoram
Dampa sits in the far west of Mizoram, sharing a border with Bangladesh, and receives a fraction of the footfall that Kaziranga or Corbett pulls in any given weekend. The reserve covers roughly 500 square kilometres of semi-evergreen and moist deciduous forest, and tigers are present, though sightings are rare enough that most visitors come for the forest itself rather than a checklist moment.
