Assam is most famous for two of its things, wildlife and tea gardens. Geologically comprising The Deccan Plateau, The Brahmaputra Plains, and The Eastern Hills of The Northern Himalayas, Assam has extensive woodlands. With heavy tropical rainstorms, it is probably the greenest state in the country. Such a climate creates dense vegetation, which is not only a perfect place for wildlife but also a hotspot for biodiversity to flourish. This raw state of nature attracts thousands of tourists and animal lovers from around the world every year. Yet on the unexplored side let’s dive into the wildlife of Assam and places that house them.
