Travel Tips Of Nokrek National Park

Tura, Meghalaya, India:
Nokrek National Park, designated a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 2009, is an ecological and biodiversity hotspot situated in the heart of the Garo Hills. It is one of the most significant protected areas in Northeast India. The park's main feature is the Nokrek Peak, the highest peak in the Garo Hills at an elevation of about 1,412 meters. The park is renowned for its diverse flora and fauna, making it a sanctuary for wildlife enthusiasts and researchers. It is famously the last refuge for the critically endangered Red Panda in Meghalaya. Other notable inhabitants include the Asian Elephant, the elusive Clouded Leopard, the Hoolock Gibbon (the only ape species found in India), various species of deer, and a rich variety of birdlife. Nokrek is also globally significant as the origin and natural habitat of Citrus Indica (the wild cousin of the orange), which led to the establishment of the National Citrus Gene Sanctuary within the park's buffer zone to protect this progenitor plant. The park's terrain is rugged, characterized by steep slopes, dense forests, and numerous perennial streams and rivers, including the origin of the Simsang (or Someshwari) river. The vast, undisturbed evergreen and semi-evergreen forest cover provides an ideal ecosystem for its inhabitants and offers spectacular natural beauty.

Tourism Tips

Health & Safety Considerations:

Always: enter the park with an authorized guide. Be aware of wild animals; maintain a safe distance and never feed them. Carry anti-leech socks/repellent, especially if there has been rain. Stay hydrated and carry a well-stocked first-aid kit.

Packing Essentials:

Pack: sturdy trekking boots, a hat, a light rain jacket, powerful insect repellent, and binoculars. Wear drab colors (greens, browns) to blend in. Do not carry any plastic items; the park has a strict plastic ban.

Accommodation Tips:

Very: limited accommodation is available near the park entrance (e.g., forest rest houses at Daribokgre or local homestays). It is best to stay in Tura and travel to the park for a day trip. Book any local homestay well in advance.

Other Different Topics:

Respect:

Wildlife: Do not make loud noises or play music.

Littering: Strictly prohibited—carry all trash back with you.

Permits: Ensure your guide has all necessary entry permits before starting the trip.
