Raiganj Wildlife Sanctuary

Raiganj Wildlife Sanctuary, Bird sanctuary in Raiganj, India.

Description

Raiganj Wildlife Sanctuary is a protected area along the Kulik River, equipped with watchtowers and paths through forests of Jarul and Kadam trees. The site offers different routes to observe local wildlife and their natural habitats.

History

The sanctuary was established in 1985 by the West Bengal government to protect natural forest areas. The creation followed efforts to restore woodlands and preserve local habitats.

Culture

The nature interpretation center helps visitors understand why this place matters for migratory bird species and their yearly journeys. People come here to learn how the site supports these animals during their travel seasons.

Practical

Visitors should bring sturdy footwear and water, as paths cross different forest sections and sun exposure can be intense. A local guide can help with navigation and makes animal spotting easier.

Did you know?

In the months from mid-year through November, tens of thousands of storks return and build their nests in the tree canopies. These massive gatherings create an extraordinary sight that draws birdwatchers from far and wide.
