Nameri National Parl
Nameri National Park is located on the banks of the river Bhoreli on the northern side of the Brahmaputra. Situated on the foothills of the Eastern Himalayas in Sonitpur district of Assam, Nameri shares its northern boundary with the Pakhui Wildlife Sanctuary of Arunachal.Together they constitute an area of over 1000 sq.km of semi-evergreen, moist deciduous forests with cane and bamboo brakes and narrow strips of open grassland along rivers.This is excellent elephant country and ideal habitat for a host of other animals including the tiger. It is also home to the Leopard, Bison, Sambar, dhole (the Asiatic wild dog), Hog Deer, Muntjac, Wild Boar, Sloth Bear, Himalayan Black Bear, Capped Langur, Indian Giant Squirrel etc.
There are no motorable roads so you will have to get across the river by boat, from where a hike through the forest will reveal amazing beauty and other wild secrets of the area. A trek inside the forest enables in particular good sighting of birds. Nameri is a birder’s paradise with over 300 species of birds - including the White Winged Wood Duck, four distinct species of the Hornbill, Blue-bearded Bee-eaters, Babblers, Plovers etc. There is also an option to go for adventure activities like white water rafting.
The best time to visit Nameri National Park is November to March. The park remains open from sunrise to sunset.
