The river originates near the India-China Line of Actual Control in Arunachal Pradesh at an elevation of about 4000 m.[1] The Emra watershed/catchment area has a forest cover of 87% with high species richness and low habitat fragmentation.[1] The Mishmi people live in the river valley/basin area.[3][4] Fish such as mahseer (Tor putitora) migrate from the Dibang into the Emra for spawning and breeding.[1]
