Behali Reserved Forest, Forest reserve in Biswanath district, India.

The Behali Reserved Forest spans 157 square kilometers between the Buroi River and Borgang River in the foothills of the Eastern Himalayas.

The forest received its protected status in 1917 and contains archaeological remains of a 14th-century settlement built by the Boro-barahi kings.

Local communities, including Karbi and Munda people, collect over one hundred different types of non-timber forest products for traditional medicine and food.

Research teams have documented 282 bird species, 275 butterfly species, 49 mammal species, and 308 native plant species within the forest boundaries.

The forest serves as an essential corridor between Nameri National Park and Kaziranga National Park, enabling elephant migration through the region.
