Which lake was designated as India’s 101st Ramsar Site in August 2026, becoming Arunachal Pradesh’s first Ramsar Site ?
Glaw Lake
Ramsar Sites are wetlands of international importance listed under the Ramsar Convention of 1971. Before August 2026 India had 100 such sites, but Arunachal Pradesh had none.
On 3 August 2026 the Union Environment Ministry announced that Glaw Lake, a high-altitude lake inside the Kamlang Tiger Reserve in Lohit district of Arunachal Pradesh, had been designated as India’s 101st Ramsar Site. It became the first Ramsar Site of the state.
Sela Lake and Sangetsar Lake are well-known high-altitude lakes of Arunachal Pradesh in Tawang district, but neither received the Ramsar tag in 2026. Chilika Lake in Odisha was India’s first Ramsar Site, designated in 1981, and is not in Arunachal Pradesh.
Glaw Lake option is correct.
