The district has a rich and varied vegetation
.The climate conditions are suitable for a wide range of flowering and non-flowering
trees and shrubs, Bamboos, pepals and Kaubila are a common sight everywhere
in the valley. Eucalyptus, Amla, Parkia roxburgil (Tree bean) (Yongchak), Arundo
donax (Yendhou) etc ,are also very common.
The hills are the homes of many valuable trees. A wide variety of medicinal
plants are grown wild both in the hills and the plains. Carica papaya (Papaya),
Citrus grandia (Pamelo), Mangifera indica (Mango), Prunus domestics (plum),
Prumus persica (peach) Pyrus selerotine (pear), Psidium guavaya (guava), Famarindus
indica (Tamarind) etc. are some of the important fruit bearing trees. A large
variety of birds are also found in the district. Sparrow, swallow, owl, myna,
pigeon, nightingale, king fisher, wood pecker, Heron, kite etc are the common
birds found in the district.
The lakes and the marshy lands of the valley are the favourite habitat of a
variety of rare migratory birds such as duck, geese, snipe etc ,arriving particularly
in winter months from places as far as Siberia. The gradual decrease in the
size of the habitats and the over -hunting and the netting have greatly reduced
the number of such rare migratory birds visiting the district in recent years.
