Hollongapar Gibbon Wildlife Sanctuary

Kaziranga National Park, Assam, India
This unique wildlife sanctuary is a small yet incredibly significant protected area, specifically dedicated to the conservation of India's only ape species: the Hoolock Gibbon. It's named after the evergreen Hollong tree, which forms a major part of its dense canopy. The sanctuary comprises semi-ev ergreen forests, providing an ideal habitat for arboreal (tree-dwelling) primates. Hollongapar Gibbon Wildlife Sanctuary is unique because it's a prime location to observe the Western Hoolock Gibbon in its natural habitat, swinging gracefully through the trees. Besides the Hoolock Gibbon, the sanctuary is also home to six other primate species, making it an exceptional place for primate research and viewing. These include the Bengal Slow Loris, Stump-tailed Macaque, Northern Pig-tailed Macaque, Eastern Assamese Macaque, Rhesus Macaque, and Capped Langur. The rich canopy also supports a variety of forest birds, making it interesting for birdwatchers. The sanctuary is crisscrossed by several streams, adding to its ecological diversity. Visitors can undertake guided treks (with prior permission and a forest guide) to get closer to the gibbons, whose calls often echo through the forest in the early mornings. Due to its smaller size, the chances of spotting these primates are relatively high compared to larger, more expansive parks.
