Arunachal Pradesh, in the extreme northeast of India, is one of the most biologically diverse parts of the subcontinent. Its avifauna is a unique blend of Himalayan, Sino-Tibetan and Indo-Burmese species. Though less explored, about 665 species of birds have been recorded within the state. Marvels such as Wedge-billed Wren Babbler, Snowy-throated Babbler, Beautiful Nuthatch, Blyth's Tragopan, Ward's Trogon, Rufous-necked Hornbill are a few rarities of this remote region.
Namdapha.

Namdapha's habitat is classified into tropical, temperate and alpine types. The multi-layered evergreen timberland that clothes the lower slopes is probably the largest remaining dipterocarp forest in India. These forests are best explored on foot. Dense foliage and edges of water bodies reveal Slender-billed Scimitar-Babbler, Snowy-throated Babbler & Grey-bellied Tesia. Blyth's Kingfisher, Small Prantincole & Ibisbill and the globally threatened White-bellied Heron frequent the river. Namdapha is also good for sighting the Lesser Necklaced Laughing Thrush, Grey-headed Parrotbill, Long-tailed Sibia, Sultan Tit and Pied Falconet - the tiniest and rarest of the Indian raptors. The higher reaches of the sanctuary gives one a chance to see rarities such as Mountain Bamboo Partridge, Brown-throated Fulvetta and Long & Wedge-billed Wren Babblers.

Guwahati, the bustling capital of Assam is one of the best places in the world to see the highly endangered Greater Adjutant at close range.

Kaziranga is a superb tract of land whose rich avifauna is overshadowed by the One-horned rhinoceros for which the park is renowned. On account of its dense bird life, this low-lying grassland with several large shallow lakes and patches of open woodland is considered as 'Bharatpur of the East'. The marshes support many species of waterfowl and an elephant ride reveals grassland species such as Bengal Florican, Swamp Francolin and Chestnut-capped Babbler.

The adjoining Panbari forests are home to Fairy Bluebird, Puff-throated Babblers, Silver-breasted Broadbill, Grey Peacock Pheasant and flocks of the much sought after Spot-winged Starling in winters.

Tea plantations and adjoining scrub and cultivation can be explored for the Rufous-necked Laughing Thrush, Common Green Magpie and Thick-billed Warbler.

Nameri National Park, the second Tiger reserve in Assam after Manas National Park (which is now closed), covers an area of 200 sq km with the river Jia Bhoroli enriching its diverse habitat. Sighting of wild animals is difficult here but the park has 370 species of birds. Nameri is known to be a good place to sight the White-winged Wood Duck, the uncommon Ibis-bill, Ruddy Kingfisher, Wreathed hornbill, Long-billed Ringed Plover, Sultan Tit, Yellow-bellied and White-throated Fantail.
