Start the first day of your adventure in Assam with a trek in Nameri National Park, a paradise for nature enthusiasts. The park is home to varied flora and fauna, a variety of bird species and precious Bengal tigers. The Jia Bhoroli River, located on the outskirts of the park, offers the perfect opportunity for a refreshing dip and riverside picnicking. While trekking, you can spot rare bird species such as white-winged wood ducks and Great Hornbills. Spotting elephants, deer and leopards is not uncommon either in the hills surrounding the park.
Embark on an adrenaline-pumping adventure with a rafting expedition on the Brahmaputra River, one of the wildest rivers in the world. It offers a spectacular view of the Himalayas and brings you closer to the unique flora and fauna species found alongside the Assam region. The river is categorized into five wondrous rapids, making it an ideal destination for experienced rafters. The rafting activity is perfect for those who crave an adrenaline-filled adventure.
Explore the fascinating limestone caves in the stunning Jaintia Hills. These caves are known for their incredible formations and are believed to be one of the oldest cave systems in the Indian subcontinent. The pristine environment inside the caves is well preserved due to its uncanny isolation from human habitation which makes it an ideal destination for long treks, rock climbing, and rappelling. Some caves are also inhabited by bats that offer an enthralling spectacle to the visitors. The caving adventure in Jaintia hills is a must-try experience for all adventure seekers.
For those with more time, visit the Kaziranga National Park, located a short distance from Nameri National Park famous for one-horned rhinos and exploring the Majuli island in the Brahmaputra river. If you have less time, you can consider visiting Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary, which hosts species of Indian rhinos and other exclusive wildlife.
