Dibru-Saikhowa National Park

Nalbari, Assam, India
Dibru-Saikhowa National Park is a unique and ecologically diverse protected area, renowned for its semi-evergreen forests, moist deciduous forests, canebrakes, and grasslands, all interspersed with numerous wetlands and beels (lakes). It's a large river island park, bounded by the Brahmaputra River and its tributaries, Lohit and Dibru, which significantly influence its dynamic ecosystem. Declared a National Park in 1999, it is also recognized as a Biosphere Reserve, highlighting its global ecological importance. Unlike the rhino-dominated landscapes of Kaziranga or Pobitora, Dibru-Saikhowa is particularly famous for its wild horses (feral horses), descendants of horses that escaped from World War II. These majestic animals roam freely in the grasslands, offering a unique sighting experience. The park is also a haven for primates, including: Hoolock Gibbon: One of India's few places to spot this ape. Capped Langur: Rhesus Macaque: Pig-tailed Macaque: Stump-tailed Macaque: Slow Loris: (elusive, nocturnal) Other mammals found here include the Asiatic Elephant, Royal Bengal Tiger (though very rarely sighted), Leopard, Jungle Cat, Wild Boar, and various deer species. However, the park's true gem lies in its avian diversity. Dibru-Saikhowa is a birdwatcher's paradise, especially during winter. Over 350 species of birds have been recorded, making it a crucial stop for migratory waterfowl and resident forest birds. Notable species include the White-winged Wood Duck (a highly endangered species), Greater Adjutant Stork, Swamp Francolin, Jerdon's Babbler, and various raptors. The primary way to explore Dibru-Saikhowa is through boat safaris on the Brahmaputra and its channels, which offer excellent opportunities for birdwatching and spotting river dolphins (though rare). Trekking in certain areas with forest guides is also possible. The park's remote and pristine nature, coupled with its unique blend of wildlife and landscapes, makes it an ideal destination for nature enthusiasts seeking an off-the-beaten-path wildlife experience.
