Polypedates himalayensis, the Himalayan tree frog, is a species of tree frog found in north-eastern India.[2] It has been observed between 100 and 2000 meters above sea level.[1]
A typical frog found in moist deciduous forest. This frog also found in semi-urban, especially in cities with extensive gardens or plants. Formerly, it was considered as a subspecies of the Indian tree frog. It is associated with freshwater habitat.
This frog was once considered conspecific with Polypedates maculatus.[1]
Scientists believe this frog is not in danger of extinction because of its large range and tolerance to human-altered habitats.[1]
