⭐ Birding in Karimganj, Assam – Wildlife Photography Collection
This gallery showcases my bird-photography work from Karimganj, a biodiverse district in Assam’s Barak Valley known for its forested hills, wetlands, and mosaic of semi-evergreen habitats. The images here represent documented sightings during field birding sessions, with each photograph tied to a confirmed species record from the trip. Karimganj is still an under-explored birding destination, and this collection offers a visual reference to the diversity found in this region.

🌿 About Karimganj as a Birding Destination
Karimganj lies in southern Assam, bordering Bangladesh, and forms part of the ecologically rich Barak Valley. The district’s combination of forest patches, bamboo thickets, streams, tea gardens, and agricultural edges supports an impressive variety of birds. Because it is less frequently visited compared to major birding hotspots, Karimganj offers quieter trails, excellent opportunities for photographing shy forest species, and rewarding encounters with both resident and migratory birds.
All species listed here are based on confirmed sightings from this trip.
