[2] As currently known, it is endemic to the Mêdog County in southern Tibet, although its distribution might extend into the adjacent Arunachal Pradesh, northeastern India.

[3] Gracixalus medogensis occurs in tropical rain forest at elevations of 1,200–1,500 m (3,900–4,900 ft) above sea level.

Specimens have been found on the shrubs along the shore of a lake deep in the forest, possibly in its breeding habitat.

Because of ongoing decline in the extent and quality of its habitat, it is suspected that its overall population is decreasing.

It is found in the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon National Nature Reserve.
