Jatinga valley , Assam - The valley of death

Assam, a northeastern state is famous for its pleasant climate, rich culture and beautiful valleys.

But, it is also known for a mysterious village: Jatinga.

This place only has a population of 2,500 people and it is globally famous for its phenomenon of “birds suicide.” Located over 330 kilometers south of Assam’s Guwahati, the place makes headlines every year from the month of September to November.

The reason? The mass suicide of birds.

The strangest thing is that birds do from 7 pm to 10 pm.

Not just local birds birds but most migratory birds here also indulge in this act. According to news report , this race of suicide involves almost 40 species of local and migratory birds. Because of this , many people consider Jatinga to be among the world's most unsettling location.

This phenomenon began in 1910. But in 1957, the general public became aware of this when British tea farmer and ornithologist EP Gee wrote about it in his book Wild Life of India. According to the Kaziranga National Park Assam website, this phenomenon is also describe as the " Bermuda Triangle for Birds.'' Some believe that the village is cursed and evil spirit are responsible for the birds death. Others think that the excessive magnetic field in the area cause these incidents. Though more theories continue to arise but no one has been able to prove the exact explanation behind this phenomenon."
