Nameri National Park, spanning 200 square kilometers, is one of Assam’s most scenic national parks, with the Jia Bhoroli River flowing through its midst. Situated on the eastern border of Assam, it lies in the valley and mountainous region adjoining Arunachal Pradesh. Initially established as a sanctuary in 1985 covering 137 square kilometers, it gained national park status in 1998. Nameri is a haven for endangered species such as the white-winged wood duck, sloth bear, tiger, leopard, clouded leopard, sambar, gaur, Indian wild dog, and four varieties of hornbills, among numerous other bird species.
