Deepor Beel Wildlife Sanctuary, situated to the southwest of Guwahati in Assam, is a permanent freshwater lake and a Ramsar site that boasts a vast area of wetlands.

It is a vital habitat for a variety of aquatic flora and numerous species of fish, and it is renowned for its birdlife, serving as a sanctuary for several migratory birds.
