Nambor Wildlife Sanctuary
The Wild Heart: Nambor Wildlife Sanctuary is a protected area located in the Karbi Anglong district, covering approximately 37 square kilometers. It is part of a larger forest complex that includes Garampani and Nambor-Doigrung sanctuaries. The area is dominated by tropical semi-evergreen and evergr een forests, interspersed with bamboo groves and cane brakes. It is a vital corridor for the Asiatic Elephant and home to the rare Hoolock Gibbon. The sanctuary is also famous for its hot water springs, which are believed to have healing properties. The Nambor river flows through the heart of the forest, providing a lifeline for the diverse wildlife. Visitors can spot tigers, leopards, and over 250 species of birds within its boundaries. The forest is rich in rare orchids and timber species like Nahor and Poma. It offers a rugged and authentic wildlife experience, far from the commercial crowds of larger parks. The dense canopy creates a cool and mysterious environment even during the peak of summer. It is an essential destination for eco-travelers and researchers.
