This compact, green sanctuary is famous because it protects hoolock gibbons and a rich mix of birds, primates, and forest life. The experience is more of a quiet forest walk—listening for calls, spotting movement in the canopy, and enjoying an evergreen forest patch surrounded by tea gardens. It’s one of the best nature add-ons when touring Jorhat.
About this place
History & highlights
The forest area was set aside in the late 19th century and later officially constituted as a sanctuary in 1997, becoming notable as the only protected area in India named after a primate. Its history also reflects how original forests became fragmented over time, making this protected pocket ecologically important today.
