Gumti Wildlife Sanctuary
Gumti Wildlife Sanctuary is a vast protected area covering nearly 390 sq km. It is a sanctuary of immense ecological importance, housing a variety of flora and fauna including elephants, bisons (Gaur), barking deer, and wild goats (Sarow). The sanctuary is also a haven for primates like the Hoolock Gibbon and the Spectacled Langur. A large part of the sanctuary consists of a water reservoir (associated with Dumbur Lake) which attracts thousands of migratory birds during the winter months, such as the Lesser Adjutant Stork and various species of wild ducks. The terrain is hilly and covered in dense deciduous and semi-evergreen forests, making it a prime destination for eco-tourists and wildlife photographers. The sanctuary plays a vital role in the conservation of the state's biodiversity and offers a raw, untouched experience of the Northeastern jungles.
