Haflong
Haflong is Assam's only hill station. It is the district Headquarters of North Cachar Hills. Haflong has very high scenic beauty, with clouds descending below one’s feet level and beautiful rainbow formations. A beautiful lake 'Haflong Lake' is located in the heart of the town.
  
Jatinga is 9 kms. from Haflong, is famous for the unexplained phenomenon of migratory birds 'committing mass suicide'. The migratory birds come during the month of August to November and it becomes the Ornithologists attraction. From the elevated watch tower one can see them yielding to their death wish and their little plumage dropping down.
The safety and security situation has concerns at present, hence the development is proposed in the second phase and most of the accommodation/ hub facilities are proposed at Silchar.
* The team may visit Haflong, and the proposals may be revised.
