The Garo tribes historically viewed the Hilly Balpakram as the 'household of souls,' where decent people go momentarily after they typically die and mythical connotations are linking to it. The 220-km2 national park has few fragrant flowers, but is moderately fascinating to abundant birdlife and is dense in eternal spring and undoubtedly has several elephants and Hoolock gibbons. A jeep route graciously extends the heading towards a plateau of approximately 12 kilometres, promptly leading by several footpaths is one of the memorable highlights here. One needs to get permissions from the Baghmara Forestry Office, which is sited approximately 45 miles west if they want to visit the place.

The stellar temperature varies from 250C to 70C, and even at the peak, winters never get too cool. Because there are also the fewest odds of rain during these months, it is the most tremendous way to watch the biological ecosystem outside, most of which could be observed when they leave the woods, at the time of drinking water from the bodies of water, etc.
In addition, summertime is not a good season to visit the Balpakram National Park, since the mild climate may be oppressive The native wildlife is rarely seen since many of them opt to stay in their homes to avoid the heat of the decrease.
