Bura Chapori Wildlife Sanctuary
Bura Chapori Wildlife Sanctuary is a protected area located on the southern bank of the Brahmaputra River. Covering an area of about 44 square kilometers, it is an integral part of the Laokhowa-Bura Chapori ecosystem. The sanctuary is a mosaic of wet alluvial grasslands, riparian forests, and numer ous water bodies known as 'beels'. It is most famous for being a prime habitat for the Bengal Florican, one of the rarest bird species in the world. Besides birds, the sanctuary is home to the Great Indian One-Horned Rhinoceros, Tigers, Leopards, Wild Buffaloes, and Hog Deer. During the winter months, the sanctuary becomes a haven for migratory birds such as Ruddy Shelduck, Bar-headed Geese, and various species of teals. The landscape is incredibly scenic, with the mighty river on one side and lush greenery on the other. It offers a more offbeat and tranquil experience compared to the crowded Kaziranga National Park. Visitors can take jeep safaris to explore the interiors of the forest. The sanctuary also plays a crucial role in the conservation of riverine biodiversity. The local communities are involved in eco-tourism initiatives, providing a glimpse into the rural life of Assam. The best way to experience Bura Chapori is to arrive early in the morning when the animals are most active and the mist over the grasslands creates a magical atmosphere. It is a place where you can truly connect with nature and observe wildlife in its most pristine form. The sanctuary is also known for its population of Asiatic Elephants, which often migrate through the corridor. For nature photographers, the diverse flora and fauna provide endless opportunities to capture the essence of the Brahmaputra valley.
