Nameri
- a place of pure wilderness, a place to experience an adrenaline adventure is
a lovely sanctuary placed on the border of Assam and Arunachal.
The Nameri landscape just mesmerizes us as if it has directly come out of some wallpaper.
Here,
we can go on a nature trail inside the jungle and get an adrenaline rush with
the thought of coming across wildlife face to face. Encounter wild elephants,
hear the scary sound of barking deer, walk with the forest guard armed with a
gun. The silence of the forest speaks differently. The chirping of the birds
fills the space.
Nameri is the home of endangered white-winged wood duck. But they are very few in numbers and difficult to spot.
We stayed in Balighora nature camp. It is made of sustainable bamboo huts. Experienced a night sky with bright stars, caught hold of a lonely firefly as well. Spotted lovely yellow Mynas and different kinds of colorful butterflies as well.
River rafting in the Jia Bhoroli river is also a little adventurous thing to do. The water was not particularly flowing vigorously. So it was good to get a first-time experience of river rafting. Non-swimmers and children can also ride on the boat. It was good to spot beautiful landscapes of the jungle, different birds like divers, ruddy shelducks, kingfisher, etc.
On the way back from river rafting we closely got a glimpse of a wild elephant trying to enter the village zone.
The
villagers often bear the nuances of elephants destroying the crops. But anyway,
most of them are living on the land of forest belonging to the Government.
Elephants have the right to stay there just like them.
Nameri -
a beautiful sanctuary that gives an altogether different life experience.
We are fortunate to experience pure adrenaline adventure here. May the forest
here stay lovely and fresh forever!
