Karbi Anglong and the North
Cachar Hills.
Assam is known for Assam tea,
petroleum resources, Assam silk

It has successfully conserved
the one-horned Indian rhinoceros
from near extinction, tiger,
numerous species of birds and
provides one of the last wild
habitats for the Asian elephant.
It is increasingly becoming a
popular destination for

World Heritage Sites. Assam was

forests and forest products,

high rainfall, Assam is endowed

tributaries and oxbow lakes
provide the region with a unique
hydro-geomorphic and aesthetic
environment.
