Wild Assam (Nameri- Kaziranga- Gibbon Sanctuary)

Kaziranga, A World Heritage Site, is regarded as one of the finest wildlife refuges in the world. The park’s contribution in saving the Indian one-horned Rhinoceros from the brink of extinction at the turn of the 20th century to harbouring the single largest population of this species is a spectacular conservation achievement. It also harbours significant populations of other threatened species including tigers, elephants, wild water buffalo and Swamp Deer as well as aquatic species including the Ganges River dolphin. It is an important area for migratory birds. The landscape has a rich variety of grasslands, marshes, jheels and forest cover.  Due to the presence of highly diverse and visible species, it has been described as a ‘Biodiversity Hotspot’.
The tropical forests and riverine grasslands of Nameri Tiger Reserve have been acting as home to a wide variety of wildlife. This is one of the very few wildlife reserves which can be explored on foot! Nameri also has an astounding bird diversity that includes 374 species recorded so far. The globally threatened White-winged wood Duck, Wreathed Hornbill, Pallas's Fish Eagle can be seen in Nameri. The Hoollongapar Gibbon Sanctuary renamed on 25 May 2004, formerly known as the Gibbon Wildlife Sanctuary or Hollongapar Reserve Forest, is an isolated protected area of evergreen forest located in Jorhat district of Assam, India. The sanctuary has a rich biodiversity and is home to the only apes in India, the western Hoolock hoolock as well as the only nocturnal primate found in the northeast Indian states, the Bengal slow loris. Other primates include the stump-tailed macaque, northern pig-tailed macaque, eastern Assamese macaque, rhesus macaque, and capped langur.
