Nameri National Park is a national park in the foothills of the eastern Himalayas in the Sonitpur District of Assam, India, about 35 km from Tezpur. Nameri is about 9 km from Chariduar, the nearest village. Nameri shares its northern boundary with the Pakhui Wildlife Sanctuary of Arunachal Pradesh. Famous for its royal Bengal Tigers, Elephants, and other animals including Leopards, Gaurs, Wild Pigs, Sambars, and more, the Nameri National Park is among the most adventure-packed Assam places to visit for thrill seekers and wildlife fanatics. Apart from its fauna, Nameri also has a large population of avifauna which makes it a bird watcher’s paradise. One of the best things to do in Assam while in the Nameri Sanctuary is to embark on a dauntless safari down its lush thickets and dirt tracks. Other than the wildlife, the rich fauna and the evergreen vegetation also tends to enchant visitors. A stop at the Nameri river will let you spot a variety of fish, including the Golden Mahseer which is known as the “Tiger of the Himalayan rivers”. This is one of the most loved Assam famous places. Apart from safari, one can indulge in activities like river rafting, fishing, and swimming (via prior permission).
