Lakes in Assam

The mighty Brahmaputra River, considered to be the only masculine river of the Indian subcontinent, literally runs through the state of Assam causing havoc with regular floods during the monsoon seasons year after year. Due to this fact a unique and peculiar eco-system has been generated within these perpetually wetland regions featuring numerous forests, lakes, ponds and waterfalls. Brahmaputra River along with its tributaries is the main lifeline of this northeast Indian state around which the entire geographical and cultural environment of Assam has historically thrived and evolved. With over 690 lakes and ponds recorded within the state, Assam is an unmatched biodiversity hotspot.
