Gibbon Wildlife Sanctuary

Nalbari, Assam, India
The Hollongapar Gibbon Wildlife Sanctuary is a unique and vital protected area, primarily famous for being the only sanctuary in India that is home to the Hoolock Gibbon (Hoolock hoolock), India's only ape. This small yet ecologically rich sanctuary, established in 1997, covers an area of about 20. 98 sq km and is primarily comprised of tropical evergreen forests. Its existence is crucial for the survival of the endangered Hoolock Gibbon and several other primate species. The sanctuary's dense canopy and specific forest type provide an ideal habitat for its star resident, the Hoolock Gibbon, known for its distinctive loud calls that echo through the forest and its agile, swinging movements through the trees. Besides the Hoolock Gibbon, the sanctuary is home to six other primate species, making it a "Primate Heaven." These include: Stump-tailed Macaque Pig-tailed Macaque Eastern Assamese Macaque Rhesus Macaque Capped Langur Slow Loris (nocturnal and elusive) Apart from primates, the sanctuary also hosts other mammals like elephants (transient), leopards, wild boars, and various species of civets and mongooses. For birdwatchers, Gibbon Sanctuary offers a chance to spot a variety of avian species, including hornbills, various woodpeckers, and other forest birds. The best way to explore the sanctuary is through guided walking treks, as jeep safaris are not typically offered. These treks, usually led by forest guides, involve walking through the dense forest, listening for the distinctive calls of the gibbons, and patiently trying to spot them high up in the canopy. The tranquil atmosphere and the thrill of spotting rare primates make Gibbon Wildlife Sanctuary a special and rewarding destination for wildlife enthusiasts and nature photographers. It offers a more intimate and immersive jungle experience compared to larger national parks.
