Nameri National Park

Nestled in the foothills of Eastern Himalayas, Nameri National Park covering an area of almost 200 sq kms is one of the more scenic national parks in Assam.

Jia Bhoroli

Jia Bhoroli river, which cuts through the park, is popular among Mahseer anglers. However since it flows through a protected area, only game angling (tag and release) is allowed during the season which lasts from October to April.
