The Divisional Forest Office situated in Jengging is having the jurisdiction of administration of the park and the towns of Along and Pasighat are nearest town at distances of 130 kms and 185 kms, respectively. Since the park area is quite remote and there is lack of communication facilities, approach to the park is not easy through roads. Along is having the nearest airfield. Due to the lack of communication, it is quite difficult to manage the park by the forest department and therefore most of the offices for division, beat and range are situated outside the limits of the park. Boundaries of the park have been demarcated by aerial surveys, and many natural and artificial demarcations are used as boundaries including the Siyom river as the western boundary while the boundaries on the land surveys is not yet complete. There are two ranges in the park which are Jengging range near to the Lissing Village while the range near to the Bomdo village is the Ramsing range.
