Karbi Anglong Wildlife Sanctuary

Assam, the gateway to the northeast boasts of a diverse natural heritage. The state houses several national parks and wildlife sanctuaries amongst which the Karbi Anglong Wildlife Sanctuary deserves special mention.

Karbi Anglong Wildlife Sanctuary covers a moderate expanse of 96 sq. km in Karbi Anglong District of Central Assam. The sanctuary portrays ecological harmony at its best. The idyllic paradise is replete with lush green foliage and laced by cascading rivers and water bodies that gleam like a jewel in a brass setting under the playful saffron sunbeams. Merry twittering birds and wild animals prowling about the place add a romantic charm to the place. Regal elephants and majestic predatory beasts, the magnificent, elegant, swift spotted leopards and the graceful national animal, the Royal Bengal Tiger add to the splendor of the place.

Karbi Anglong, the home of the Karbi tribe is a personification of nature at its best. Mystic blue hills and icy blue hilly rivers winding their way across a tortuous serpentine path through the hills and the picturesque green valleys with golden paddy fields glowing in the bright early morning sunshine that are nestled among the lofty hills captivate tourists with their divine, celestial beauty.

The congenial winters and bracing spring make the months spanning between October to March the perfect time to visit Karbi Anglong District. Thus the Karbi Anglong Wildlife Sanctuary records a high footfall during the pleasant winters.
