With hills on its east and west, and the Shingla river running through the middle, the wetland is a paradise for photographers. Son Beel’s distinctive landscape is formed by the Hizol trees, the Barringtonia acutangula, which thrive even when they are half submerged in water.

When there is too much rain, it overflows and the excess water is channelled through the Kakra and Kushira rivers into Bangladesh.

The Namdapha National Park, covering an area of 2,000 sq.km, is among the last great remote wilderness areas in Asia. It is situated in the beautiful valley of the Noa-Dihing river and extends into the Myanmar territory. The area lies close to the Indo-Myanmar-China tri-junction. Forests are contiguous across the international boundary with Myanmar, with several adjoining protected areas, including the recently declared Hukawng Valley Tiger Reserve.
