Hoollongapar Gibbon Sanctuary, Protected wildlife sanctuary in Jorhat, India

The Hoollongapar Gibbon Sanctuary spans across 20 square kilometers of evergreen forest, sustaining diverse flora and fauna within dense tree canopies.

The forest received protection status in 1881, extending to the foothills of Patkai Mountains before facing reductions due to tea plantations.

The sanctuary represents traditional Assamese environmental conservation methods, integrating local communities in preserving endangered primate species.

The sanctuary maintains specific visiting hours from sunrise to sunset, requiring advance permits from the Forest Department for entry and guided tours.

The sanctuary houses India's only apes, the western hoolock gibbons, and northeast India's single nocturnal primate species, the Bengal slow loris.
