Wildlife Sanctuaries in Assam  

 

The wildlife sanctuaries in Assam are a heterogeneous mixture of a variety of landscapes, plants, birds and animals. Some of the famous national parks and wildlife sanctuaries in Assam are the Kaziranga National Park, Manas National Park, Dibru-Saikhowa National Park, Nameri National Park, Orang National Park and Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary. Kaziranga is the natural habitat of the near extinction Great Indian one horned rhino.

In the state of Assam in India, after exploring all the above mentioned national parks, make sure you also visit the Nameri Tiger Reserve. This pristine park is located at the bottom of the Eastern Himalaya in the territory of Sonitpur. The main charm of this national park is the Jia Bharali River and the stunning hillocks. When you witness this place in the monsoon season you can see there are some jheels that are formed due to rain water, where white feathered ducks also reside here.

Assam is known for the large variety of flora and fauna. The jungle-clad hills and valleys are the homes of several species of wild animals that provide a glimpse of the state's diverse natural heritage. Nambor Wildlife Sanctuary is an eminent sanctuary of Assam. Gibbon Wildlife Sanctuary derived its name from the Gibbons (Bunopithecus hoolock), which are one of the rarely found primate species in India. After relentless demand by the locals and various NGOs, the Gibbon Wildlife Sanctuary was established in 1997. The sanctuary was originally a part of Hollongapar Reserve Forest rich in various plant species.
