Hiking in Poba Reserve Forest ||Leeches found everywhere || 3 Mile Ghat, Jonai (Dhemaji District)

Описание: This vlog is an account of my visit to Poba Reserve Forest for a hike on a rainy day. It was an unique as well as an interesting experience as the forest was full of leeches. All the time we were removing leeches from our clothes and body parts.

[Poba Reserved Forest (27°50'11"N and 95°17'45"E) is situated in Jonai Subdivision of Dhemaji District of Assam. The Reserved Forest (RF) was created in the year 1924 and covers an area of 10,221 hectares. Poba is one of the richest rain forests of North-East India in terms of the flora and fauna found in it and can be very well termed a biodiversity hotspot. The forest receives annual rainfall of 3600 mm to 4000 mm; highest temperature so far recorded is 35°C in summer and lowest 7.0°C in winter. Boundaries: Towards North are the foothills of the Himalayan range in Arunachal Pradesh, towards East and South are the Siang, Dibang and Lohit river systems confluencig into the mighty Brahmaputra and the Dibru-Saikhowa National Park and towards West are the revenue villages of the Jonai Sub-division of the Dhemaji district of Assam. Poba RF is an important elephant corridor linking the foot hills of Arunachal Pradesh and Dibru Saikhowa National Park via the proposed Kobu Chapori Reserve Forest. Peripheral area of the RF is inhabited by a few ethnic groups such as Mising, Bodo, Sonowal Kachari and Hajong (Rabha). These communities are dependent mostly on forest for their livelihood.]
