■ ■ The Story
In the far reaches of North East India, lies a place, so hidden, that few have heard about. A realm of waterways, and floating meadows.

Indeed, a unique environment, essential to both the people who live around, and the wild animals, that share it.

This, is the story of the only floating national park on our planet, and the only home to an endangered deer subspecies, that has made a remarkable comeback from the brink of extinction.
