Laokhowa Wildlife Sanctuary

Mayong, Assam, India
The Laokhowa Wildlife Sanctuary is a significant protected area in the Nagaon district, known for its rich biodiversity and as a habitat for various wildlife species. Spanning an area of approximately 70 square kilometers, it forms a crucial part of the larger Brahmaputra floodplains ecosystem. Whi le it is often overshadowed by the famous Kaziranga and Pobitora, Laokhowa offers a more serene and less crowded wildlife viewing experience. The sanctuary is particularly known for its efforts in rhino conservation, though the rhino population faced challenges in the past. Besides the Indian One-Horned Rhinoceros, it is home to wild buffalo, tiger, leopard, hog deer, wild boar, and a variety of primates. It is also an excellent destination for birdwatching, attracting numerous resident and migratory bird species, especially during winter. The diverse habitats, including grasslands, wetlands, and scattered woodlands, support this rich fauna. Jeep safaris are generally available, offering visitors a chance to explore the sanctuary's interiors. Laokhowa provides a vital natural extension to the wildlife experiences available near Mayong, showcasing more of Assam's incredible natural heritage beyond just the rhinos of Pobitora. It's a peaceful alternative for wildlife enthusiasts.
