Nameri National Park

Nameri National Park is a protected forest and tiger reserve located at Potasali in Sonitpur district, Assam, on the banks of the Jia-Bhoroli River bordering Arunachal Pradesh's Pakke Tiger Reserve. Covering about 200 sq km, it is known for its semi-evergreen and moist deciduous forests, diverse birdlife including the white-winged duck, and populations of elephants, tigers and leopards. It offers river rafting, birdwatching and nature trails in a Himalayan foothill setting.

Visitors can expect a forested landscape in the eastern Himalayan foothills intersected by the Jia-Bhoroli River. The park has dense semi-evergreen forest, grasslands and riverine areas with watchtowers and forest trails. Activities are centered on guided nature walks, birdwatching, wildlife viewing and gentle river rafting on the Jia-Bhoroli. Accommodation is available at the forest rest house and Nameri Eco Camp near Potasali gate. Sightings may include elephants, birds and riverine wildlife.

Notified as Nameri Wildlife Sanctuary in 1985 and declared as Nameri National Park on 15 November 1998 with an area of 200 sq km. Declared as Nameri Tiger Reserve in 1999-2000 as the 26th Tiger Reserve under Project Tiger. It forms a contiguous conservation landscape with Pakke Tiger Reserve in Arunachal Pradesh.

The Jia-Bhoroli River and surrounding forests are traditionally associated with local Assamese communities for fishing, including angling for golden mahseer on a catch-and-release basis, and for nature-based recreation and conservation awareness.
