Parks & nature

Though not a formally designated national park, Majuli is an ecological hotspot of immense significance.

* **Wetlands (Beels):** The island is dotted with numerous *beels* (lake-like wetlands) that support rich aquatic and avian life. * **Avian Wildlife:** Majuli is an Important Bird Area (IBA). During winter, it hosts migratory birds including pelicans, Siberian cranes, and greater adjutant storks. * **Molai Forest:** Located on a sandbar near Majuli, this 1,360-acre forest was single-handedly planted by local environmentalist Jadav Payeng over several decades, serving as a sanctuary for elephants, Bengal tigers, and rhinos.
