The orange-bellied Himalayan squirrel (Dremomys lokriah) is a species of rodent in the family Sciuridae. It is found in Bangladesh, China, India, Myanmar, Nepal and Bhutan. The species was first described as Sciurus lokriah by Hodgson in the year 1836. He collected the specimens from the South Tibet region of Mount Everest. In 1916, Thomas and Wroughton described a species from the Manipur, India and Chin Hills as D. macmillani. Later that year, Wroughton also described a subspecies of D. lokriah as D. l. bhotia from the specimens collected from sedochen of Sikkim Himalaya, and Manipur.
Although subspecies of D. lokriah has gone though several revisions, presently, there are total eight known valid subspecies of the Orange-bellied Himalayan Squirrel exists throughout... Wikipedia →

No species of the same family or order lives in Langtang National Park, so these are its closest relatives here: other mammals.
Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report an Orange-bellied Himalayan Squirrel sighting in Langtang National Park on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 7th most-seen of the 8 mammals we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May and December
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report an Orange-bellied Himalayan Squirrel in Langtang National Park on a given day, against under 5% in March, the lowest month. Those are among Langtang National Park's driest months, with about 70 mm of rain a month against 390 mm in July. July to September have too few records to rate.
Between 2 and 5 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Orange-bellied Himalayan Squirrel sightings with a recorded time, and about half of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
Only Langtang National Park, in our data
Langtang National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Orange-bellied Himalayan Squirrel sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Orange-bellied Himalayan Squirrel is recorded against all the mammals logged in Langtang National Park (9 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
