The sanctuary is most famous for being the home of the majestic Indian Bison, or Gaur, the largest wild bovine in the world. The landscape is a captivating mix of rugged hills, deep valleys, and dense, moist deciduous, and semi-evergreen forests. The sanctuary's ecosystem is nourished by the Bhogavati and Dudhganga rivers, which flow through the area, creating a thriving environment for a wide array of flora and fauna. Apart from the Indian Bison, the sanctuary is a habitat for various other mammals, including leopards, sloth bears, wild boars, barking deer, sambar deer, and the elusive giant Malabar squirrel. The sanctuary is also a paradise for birdwatchers, with over 264 species of birds, including the rare Nilgiri wood-pigeon, the Malabar grey hornbill, and the great pied hornbill. A safari through the sanctuary's winding trails is an exhilarating experience, offering a chance to witness these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat. The remote location and the well-preserved natural environment make Dajipur a perfect escape from the urban world, a place where you can reconnect with nature and experience the raw, untamed beauty of the Western Ghats.
