Why to visit Bodoland and things to do!

Bodoland is situated in lower Assam which is actually known as BTAD . It has been granted as BTAD to save the flora fauna and culture of Bodo Tribe to make the India rich in diversity of Cultures.

Note: Hope Assam and Central government understands these and seal the porous border of Assam Bangladesh Border for their mere political gain and vote bank.
