Goalpara, Assam, India
While located in Guwahati, the Assam State Zoo cum Botanical Garden is a major attraction in the state and a feasible day trip from Goalpara for those interested in wildlife and botany. Popularly known as the Guwahati Zoo, it is the largest zoo in the North Eastern region of India, spread across a vast area within the Hengrabari Reserved Forest. It is home to a diverse collection of animals, birds, and reptiles from India and around the world, making it a significant center for wildlife conservation and education. The zoo houses several iconic species, including the One-horned Indian Rhinoceros, Royal Bengal Tiger, Clouded Leopard, Golden Langur, Hoolock Gibbon, and various species of deer, bears, and primates. It also features exotic animals like giraffes, zebras, and ostriches obtained through animal exchange programs. The Botanical Garden section, added in 1982, complements the zoo by showcasing a wide array of plant species, including a notable Orchid House with over 40 varieties of orchids from the North-East. There's also a reptile house, an animal adoption scheme, and educational programs. The vast, green expanse provides a pleasant environment for a day out with family. The zoo's efforts in captive breeding of endangered species highlight its role in conservation. It's a comprehensive wildlife and botanical experience for visitors to Assam.
