'''''Raorchestes sahai''''', sometimes known as the '''Sahai bushfrog''' or '''Sahai bush frog''', is a [[frog]] found by the [[Noa Dihing]] river near [[Gandhigram, Arunachal Pradesh|Gandhigram]] in [[Changlang district]], [[Arunachal Pradesh]], [[India]].<ref name="iucn status 20 November 2021" /><ref name=frost>{{cite web |url=http://research.amnh.org/vz/herpetology/amphibia/Amphibia/Anura/Rhacophoridae/Rhacophorinae/Raorchestes/Raorchestes-sahai |title=''Raorchestes sahai'' (Sarkar and Ray, 2009) |author=Frost, Darrel R. |year=2014 |work=Amphibian Species of the World: an Online Reference.

This frog has been observed between 600 and 1200 meters above sea level, in dense forest near the Noa Dihing River. This frog was found inside a hollow in a tree containing rainwater and dead leaves. The frogs have also been seen perched grass in a swamp.<ref name="iucn status 20 November 2021" /><br />
<br />
Scientists think this frog breeds through [[direct development]] with no free-swimming tadpole stage, like other frogs in ''Raorchestes''.<ref name="iucn status 20 November 2021" /><br />
<br />
Scientists believe this might be the same species as ''[[Raorchestes parvulus|R. parvulus]]'', but further data collection is warranted to confirm this.<ref name="iucn status 20 November 2021" /><br />
