Haflong

Assam’s only hill station, Haflong is 325 km from Guwahati. Its picturesque and unspoiled environs are perfect for extended stays. Jatinga, close by is reputed for the bizarre phenomenon of the annual mass suicide by birds. No answers have been found to this mystery.

Hilly Assam is a land of sensuousness. A heaven to the senses where one touches the sweetest dream with one's fingers. The mountains float in the distant sky. The clouds descend and snugly lie below one's feet. A beautiful lake 'Haflong Lake' is located in the heart of the town.

Jatinga 9 kms. from Haflong, is famous for the unexplained phenomenon of migratory birds 'committing mass suicide'. The migratory birds come during the month of August to November and it becomes the Orinthologists attraction. From the elevated watch tower one can see them yielding to their death wish and their little plumage dropping down. Season to visit is from August to April.
