Jatinga

Jatinga valley



Jatinga valley is located 9 km from Haflong, and has attracted ornithologists from all over the world to unveil the mystery of the flocks of little migratory birds crashing to death on still dark nights. This valley is famous for the incredible phenomenon of birds "committing suicide".

Jatinga is a village with a population dominated by devout Christians, proof of a century of missionary zeal in North Cachar Hills. The migratory birds come during the months August to November and it becomes the ornithologist's attraction.
