Nameri National Park

Nameri National Park, covering an area of about 200 square kms, is located at the foothills of the eastern Himalayas in the Sonitpur District of Assam, 35 km from Tezpur, which is the nearest town. The park is one of three tiger reserves in Assam, along with Manas and Kaziranga, and it is a haven for many rare animals. The rich wildlife includes tiger, black bear, elephant, leopard, Indian bison, pangolin, Indian wild dog, civet cat and capped langur.

Also found here are over 300 species of birds - including the endangered white winged wood duck, the great pied hornbill and the blue-bearded bee-eaters – and the park specialised in birdwatching jungle treks. Sadly, this area faces danger from poachers who hunt valuable birds for their wings. Elephant poaching is also a continuing issue due to conflicts with cattle grazers.

The area was formerly heavily logged, but Nameri was established as a forest reserve in 1978 and set up as Nameri Sanctuary in 1985, eventually being officially established as a national park in 1998. Best visited from November to March, Nameri is a superb spot for wildlife lovers to enjoy rich natural beauty and diverse flora and fauna. Visitors can also enjoy river rafting in Jia Bharali river at Nameri National Park.

Client Testimonials

So many highlights to choose from! The hotels were amazing but Maya Villa was a highlight… I loved just hanging out in the hammock reading my book and watching the peacocks chase the cows!
- Krista Weir, Sri Lanka
Difficult to choose the highlight of the trip, can’t choose between… 1) Taj Mahal & Oberoi Amarvilas. 2) Ranthambore. 3) Lake Palace. We have to say a particular thank you for selecting Parmod as our driver. He is a delightful and kind man who took our holiday and our enjoyment as his responsibility. Thank you for putting together such an amazing trip for us. The balance of city and rural destinations was perfect for us and the variety of rooms and hotel types brilliant. Our driver and guides also added so much to the trip with their knowledge of India’s history and culture and their willingness to discuss it both from a professional and personal angle.

Getting to Amanpulo from Manila was very simple and the beach was the most beautiful I’d ever been on; pristine white sand, not a single piece of rubbish in sight. You get your own solar powered golf buggy to drive around resort (and a butler at request). The views from the Hillside Casita were spectacular!
