Personally, the tigers of high himalayas are the most fascinating ones in India simply because of their adaptations to altitude and temperature. Plus, they grow to ridiculous sizes and look like Amur-Bengal hybrids.

They're both... The Buxa-Manas tigers too. These are their core areas.

Nameri is completely on the plains, connected to the Kaziranga landscape by the river beds.
Pakke is on the foothills at the South to upto 2000m at the northern part. It is connected to Bhutan's tiger landscape that lies just west, about 70-75kms away. 

The landscape.

Arunachal Pradesh (& Pakke) begins where Assam plains end. This is how Pakke looks from Nameri.
