Visiting Pohu Garh felt like stepping into a page of history, where nature and the past come together in a perfect harmony. As I made my way through the peaceful surroundings near Rudrasagar Lake, I could sense the quiet whispers of the Ahom kings, who once roamed these very grounds. The historical significance of Pohu Garh is woven into every brick and every tree here, a reminder of a time when the wild met the royal in an extraordinary sanctuary.
The air was crisp, the landscape untouched, and the vast expanse of the wetland spread out before me like a painting. It was hard to imagine that centuries ago, these grounds were home to rhinoceroses, tigers, and elephants—an early form of a zoo, envisioned by Swargadeo Rudra Singha. Today, however, it is the birds that rule this place. I stood in awe as I watched migratory Siberian pelicans and bar-headed geese glide across the sky, their wings casting fleeting shadows over the water below. The quiet beauty of it all—the sight of these majestic birds against the backdrop of the peaceful wetlands—felt nothing short of magical.
As I wandered through the grounds, I could almost feel the history beneath my feet, but it was the present beauty that captured my heart. The entire area felt alive with nature’s vibrancy, yet it held a profound sense of stillness that allowed me to reflect on the past while soaking in the serenity of the moment.
For those who seek both history and natural beauty, Pohu Garh offers a rare experience. It’s not just a place to visit, but a place to connect—with the past, with nature, and with a peaceful sense of wonder that lingers long...

Additionally, I believe this area deserves more recognition, and it's essential for the government to provide a clear vision for its preservation...
