Bura Chapori Wildlife Sanctuary

Bura Chapori Wildlife Sanctuary is a protected area in Nagaon district, Assam, that extends along the Brahmaputra River. The landscape consists of grasslands, wetlands, and riverine forest patches that provide habitat for numerous wildlife species.

The area began as a reserved forest and received official wildlife sanctuary status in 1995. This change strengthened protection measures for the animal species living in the region.

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

Access to the sanctuary is best arranged through the nearby town of Tezpur. Guided tours are typically available between November and April when conditions are most favorable for visitors.

This area functions as a buffer zone for the nearby Kaziranga Tiger Reserve and plays a critical role in protecting the Bengal florican. This distinctive bird species finds essential shelter in this habitat.
