This is a small patch of forest home to the Hoolock Gibbon. The park boasts of rich flora & fauna. There are no jeep safaris and one needs to trek inside the forest along with a designated guide. The forest is dense and we have to be on the lookout for elephants. The government/forest department need to develop this gem of a park.

Dense forest home to primates . We saw Gibbons, Pig-tail macaque, capped langurs and birds. You have to walk and look for the animals. The apes and monkeys are very shy . They prefer to stay on the tree tops . Very different and unique sanctuary .

This place is 30mins from Jorhat main city and in Mariani. Famous for Rare Gibbon monkeys and other species. It’s a scenic jungle which will give you a natural beauty of Jungle. Best time to visit is during winter and in early morning say 6-7 AM. They charge INR 50 per head and will provide a guide and escort for 1 hour to 45 minutes hike. One should must visit if you’re in Jorhat or Mariani.
