One of the world’s rarest bustards, the Bengal Florican, Houbaropsis bengalensis, flutters on the edge of existence, its numbers dwindling to fewer than a thousand globally. Yet each spring, in the golden fields of Koklabari Seed Farm, spread over nine square kilometres in Assam’s Baksa district of Bodoland, hope takes wing. Once a government-run research

Travelling through Assam, you first meet tea gardens rolling like green waves, the mighty Brahmaputra flowing with quiet grandeur, and forests alive with rare wildlife. Linger a little, and another Assam emerges—one of silent giants rooted in earth and memory. These are the state’s heritage trees: approximately more than a hundred of them, each over

History always seems to leave its deepest imprint where rivers meet. A confluence, thus, is never only about geography—it is where faith gathers, trade routes entwine, and kingdoms etch destinies. In Assam, we witness this at Kajalichaki or chowki, about 35 km from Guwahati towards Mayong and Pobitora, where the restless waters of the mighty

In the misty south-central Bhutan foothills, where Assam’s forests murmur with rivers and legends, a new sanctuary has been etched into the wilderness map. Sikhna Jwhwlao National Park (notified on March 5, 2025), the latest jewel in Bodoland’s green crown and Assam’s eighth sanctuary, has placed the State second only to Madhya Pradesh in India’s

Sivasagar district is more than just a stop-and-snap destination of grand Ahom-era monuments — it’s a living landscape where rivers, traditions, and communities flow seamlessly through time. It is a living mosaic of ethnic hamlets, of which one is “Lingribari”, Assam’s model textile village, just 10 km from Sivasagar town. Here, where the Desang river

Journeying into the soul of eastern Bhutan, the path begins at Darranga on the Assam side of the border—a place where the air is thick with the steam of hot chai, the rustle of commerce, and the cadence of everyday exchanges. Yet, this is no crossing point; it is a threshold, where borders soften and

ইতিহাস, সংস্কৃতি, ৰহস্য এই সকলোবোৰৰে ঊর্ধ্বত উর্বশী দ্বীপ। ই হ’ল ব্ৰহ্মপুত্ৰৰ প্ৰবল সোঁতৰ পৰা উঠি অহা এটা আকর্ষণীয় শিলৰ দ্বীপ, যিটো গুৱাহাটীৰ পাণবজাৰৰ জীপাল নদীৰ পাৰৰ সমীপত। ই হ’ল প্রাচীন শিল্পকলা, আধ্যাত্মিক তাৎপর্য আৰু আদিম অসমৰ সাংস্কৃতিক উজ্জ্বলতাৰ। কেই বছৰমানৰ আগলৈকে ফেব্ৰুৱাৰী আৰু মার্চ মাহত পানী শুকাই যোৱা নদীখনেদি উন্মুক্ত হৈ থকা বালিৰ পাৰৰ ওপৰেৰে

In Assam, history is not confined to brittle pages or ancient temples or monuments or ruins or in remarkable museums —it breathes through bamboo groves, elder voices, and the still waters of lakes and ponds. As recorded by the Department of Environment & Forests, Assam has over 1.85 lakh tanks and ponds known as pukhuris—sacred
