Jatinga

Jatinga is a famous place in Dima Hasao district of Assam in India. It is situated at about 9 km from the district headquarters town Haflong. This place is known world over for a mysterious phenomenon of birds' harakiri. Here migratory birds 'commit mass suicide'. The reason of this phenomenon is not yet known, however, there are many tentative explanations. The migratory birds come during the month of August to November and it becomes the Orinthologists attraction. From the elevated watch tower one can see them yielding to their death wish and their little plumage dropping down.
