The Himalaya paa frog, also called Stoliczka's frog or the Murree frog, is a frog in the family Dicroglossidae. Its natural habitats are high-altitude rivers, springs and other running water in open forest and grassland. There seem to be no major threats to it, and the behaviour and body shape of its overwintering tadpoles has been found to be influenced by check dams built in mountain streams (Wikipedia, general species account).

The account opened says it is found along the Himalayan front of northern India and Pakistan and does not name Nepal, so its presence in Nepal's guide is flagged for checking. The source gives no size or breeding information, so none is stated.
