Gumti Wildlife Sanctuary

Gumti Wildlife Sanctuary is a protected refuge in southeastern Tripura with deciduous and semi-evergreen forests that form different ecological zones. The area contains a large reservoir that provides water and habitat for resident and migrating animals throughout the year.

The sanctuary was established in 1988 to protect the region's endangered animal species and natural forests. This action helped preserve wildlife habitats that were under pressure from human activities in the surrounding area.

The sanctuary plays an important role for nearby communities who have lived alongside this landscape for generations. Local people often visit to observe wildlife and maintain their connection to the natural rhythms of the region.

The best time to visit is from October to March when temperatures are comfortable and animals are easier to spot. Udaipur city serves as the main access point and is located near the sanctuary entrance.

Dumbur Lake within the area is a special place for bird watching where hundreds of bird species come and go with the seasons. This lake serves as a crucial stopover point for migrating birds traveling across Asia.
