Bura Chapori Wildlife Sanctuary

The 44-square-kilometer sanctuary stretches along the Brahmaputra River, featuring grasslands, wetlands, and patches of riverine forests that support diverse ecosystems.

The area transformed from a reserved forest in 1974 to an officially designated wildlife sanctuary in 1995, marking increased protection for local species.

Local communities participate in conservation initiatives while maintaining traditional practices that align with the protection of the natural environment.

Visitors can access the sanctuary through Tezpur town, located 40 kilometers away, with guided tours available between November and April.

The sanctuary functions as a buffer zone for Kaziranga Tiger Reserve and provides essential habitat for the Bengal florican population.
