Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary

Other animals include the wild water buffaloes, the wild boar, the pigmy hog, jackals, reptiles and in the hilly ranges, leopards and slow loris.
However, a visit to Pobitora is not just about wildlife. Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary was created not too long back, by the efforts of the local villagers, who felt the need for protecting the Rhinos and other animals who grazed on their lands. The nearby villages of Mayong also have, on their own right, a strong place in the history of Assam. From ancient times, these villages have been famous for the tantric practices practiced here. These stories are now preserved in a small yet beautiful museum created by the locals very near to the sanctuary. Apart for this, there are evidences of very ancient civilization that existed here, through sculptures, temples, stone inscriptions and archaeological discoveries. There are beautiful viewpoints from where one can look at the majestic Brahmaputra. You can end a day with beautiful sunset boat rides to the sandbanks, wherein one can spot the Gangetic River Dolphins and play in the soft white sand in the middle of the river.
Our itineraries are prepared to offer you a relaxed trip to this little paradise where you can experience the wildlife safaris, go birdwatching, beautiful boat rides, learn about the history of this place, meet the locals and understand the local culture, taste the local cuisine, enjoy the local music and dance, go for village walks or go cycling and many more.

We are nature lovers and respect the blessings we have received through it. We do not encourage any harm to any living or non-living thing on this planet, and want our guests to do the same.

Manas National Park
Manas National Park, located in the northeastern state of Assam, India, is a breathtaking haven of biodiversity and natural beauty. Encompassing an area of approximately 950 square kilometers, it stands as one of the most significant protected areas in the region. Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1985, Manas National Park is renowned for its rich wildlife, stunning landscapes, and cultural significance.
The park is named after the mighty Manas River, which meanders through its heart, adding to the charm of the surroundings. The diverse topography of Manas National Park features lush grasslands, dense forests, tranquil rivers, and picturesque hills, creating a mesmerizing tapestry of nature's wonders. It serves as a refuge for numerous endangered and rare animals, including the majestic Bengal tiger, Indian rhinoceros, wild water buffalo, Indian elephant, clouded leopard, golden langur, and pygmy hog. The park also boasts a thriving bird population, with over 450 species documented, making it a true haven for avid birdwatchers.
Apart from its ecological significance, Manas National Park holds cultural importance as well. It is known for its close association with the indigenous Bodo people, who have coexisted with the park's wildlife for centuries. Their vibrant culture and traditions add a unique flavor to the park, creating a harmonious blend of nature and human heritage.
Manas National Park is not only a haven for wildlife and nature enthusiasts but also a testament to conservation efforts.
