About Balpakram

Balpakram National Park in the Garo Hills is a land of legends for the indigenous Garo people, who consider it the dwelling place of souls after death. The park's dramatic limestone plateau, deep gorges, and dense subtropical forests support remarkable diversity in one of northeast India's most remote protected areas. Red pandas inhabit the higher elevations.
