Jatinga 

Jatinga , a village on a ridge, is located in Dima Hasao district (DHD), Assam State in India. It is 330 km south of Guwahati. It is most famous for the phenomenon of birds “committing suicide”.

From the elevated watch tower you observe these feathery creatures yield to their death wish and then they downy plumages dropping down in a heap.
