Laokhowa Wildlife Sanctuary

This protected area spans 70 square kilometers of grasslands, wetlands, and forests that support diverse wildlife populations in the Assam region.

The Indian government designated Laokhowa as a wildlife sanctuary in 1972 to preserve the natural habitat of endangered one-horned rhinoceros populations.

Local indigenous communities maintain traditional practices of forest protection through active participation in conservation programs within the sanctuary boundaries.

Visitors can access the sanctuary through regular transport connections from Nagaon city, with guided wildlife tours available from November through March.

The sanctuary functions as a natural corridor for wild elephants, connecting different protected areas across the region through established migration routes.
