Every bird lover dreams of becoming an icon like Dr.Salim. He is the pioneer of birding tourism in India. His stories are famous far and wide. Imagine what if you meet him in person and go to the birding hotspot of India, East Assam And Miahmi hills.
However, Dr.Salim is no longer with us, but we have our biodiverse hub with over 500 unique species of words. East Assam and Mishmi Hills are like first love to the locals. They guard these places like their loved ones.
So, before heading towards these places, you must occupy yourself with deep knowledge. What you can expect from this trip and why you must visit East Assam and Mishmi hills as a bird lover.
