Embarking on the Assam wildlife tour is a magnificent opportunity for you to see the animals that inhabit the Brahmaputra plains and the Eastern Himalayan foothills. Jeep safaris in Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary, and Manas and Kaziranga national parks will let you observe the regional flora and fauna from a convenient vantage point. While on such trips, drive on lush grasslands and through thick deciduous and semi-evergreen jungles, with loads of streams and small ponds dotting them.
This wildlife tour in Assam will give you an altogether different experience while you are in Nameri National Park. You will navigate the protected site on foot and enjoy white water rafting on the Kameng River. But, before all this, you will visit Kamakhya Temple in Guwahati to learn something about the local religious beliefs.

Day 03: Jeep Safari
Post a delicious breakfast, head to Mathanguri for a Jeep ride in the protected territory, which is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. As it is located in the foothills of the Eastern Himalayas, its terrain is somewhat hilly. It too has both grasslands and forests that are home to the rare golden langur.

This phase of your wildlife tour in Assam will promise to be highly adventurous and fun. Early in the morning, commence an approximately 3.2km hike in the jungle. Meandering through thick semi-evergreen and deciduous forests, look out for the colourful species of butterflies that inhabit the region.
Following this nature walk, return to the campsite for a nourishing breakfast. After the meals, head to the banks of the Kameng River to engage in white water rafting. The river consists of mild rapids that will do just enough to give you adrenaline rush and make your trip worthwhile. Post this fun-filled day, return to the campsite for an overnight stay.
