Exploring Bodoland's Rich Tapestry of Culture and Nature

A Glimpse into Paradise

Bodoland is a captivating haven of lush greenery, inhabited by friendly locals eager to share the bounty of their stunning homeland. In this age of commercialised tourism, it is not easy to discover a place that remains unspoiled by commercial interests, offering tranquillity and unforgettable moments. It extends a warm invitation to adventurous travellers who seek to immerse themselves in its natural beauty, celebrate its vibrant culture, and uncover a legacy of rich historical heritage.

BTR stretches across Assam’s Kokrajhar, Chirang, Baksa, and Udalguri districts. While the Bodo community forms the heart of Bodoland, this area thrives as a mosaic of cultures, warmly welcoming Bengali Muslims, adivasis, and various indigenous groups into its vibrant tapestry.

Dive into Nature’s Playground

Bodoland’s diverse terrain, including lush hills and captivating trekking trails in places like Manas National Park, Chakrasila Wildlife Sanctuary, and Barnadi wildlife sanctuary, is a paradise for nature enthusiasts and adventurers. These trails offer opportunities to immerse in the region’s rich flora and fauna. Manas National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, beckons with thrilling wildlife safaris, allowing encounters with tigers, elephants, rhinoceros, and numerous bird species on jeep and elephant safaris. Bodoland’s rivers, like the adventurous Manas River, offer exciting river rafting with class II and III rapids.
