Nokrek Biosphere Reserve- Nokrek Biosphere Reserve is about 45 kms via Asananggre and Sasatgre but just about 2 kms from Tura peak provided you are an avid trekker. Nokrek is the highest peak in Garo Hills and has been declared a National Biosphere Reserve under the control and management of the state forest department. The peak is teeming with very rare plants and animals deep inside the thick jungle. The park is also home to a very rare species of citrus-indica endemic to this place which the locals call me.mang narang which when literally translated means the ‘orange of the spirits’. This discovery led to the establishment of the National Citrus Gene Sanctuary-cum-Biosphere Reserve at Nokrek which covers an area of about 47 sqkm.

Almost all of the important rivers and streams of the Garo Hills region originates from the Nokrek range, of which the Simsang river known as Someshwari when it enters Bangladesh at Baghmara is the most magnificent and most prominent.
