How To Reach Gomati Wildlife Sanctuary

Gandacharra, Tripura, India
Forest Ecosystem and Species Diversity: Covering an area of approximately 289.54 square kilometers, the Gomati Wildlife Sanctuary is the largest protected forest area in Tripura. The sanctuary's core is characterized by semi-evergreen and evergreen forest pockets, making it incredibly rich in biodiv ersity. It serves as a vital catchment area for the Gomati and Khowai rivers. The habitat is home to an impressive list of flora, including over 230 varieties of plants, over 150 species of climbers, and over 400 species of herbs. The fauna includes large animals like Elephants, Bison (Gaur), Sambar Deer, Barking Deer, and the elusive Wild Goat (Serow). However, the sanctuary is particularly renowned for its high concentration of endangered primate species, such as the Hoolock Gibbon, Slow Loris, Capped Langur, and the threatened Phayre's Langur (Spectacled Monkey), which are a major draw for wildlife conservationists and researchers. The massive adjoining water reservoir (part of Dumboor Lake) also makes it a haven for both resident and migratory water birds, further enhancing its ecological value and importance.
