Nambor Wildlife Sanctuary

Nambor Wildlife Sanctuary is a protected area in Assam that encompasses tropical semi-evergreen and evergreen forests with marshes throughout its terrain. The landscape displays a mix of vegetation types that support different ecosystems within the same space.

The protected area was established in 2000 following initial conservation proposals made in 1993. The years between the proposal and its creation reflect the extended planning process required to protect this forest.

The sanctuary plays an important role in protecting forest ecosystems across Assam and forms part of a larger network of protected areas in the region. Visitors can observe how this forest supports diverse wildlife and gain insight into ongoing conservation efforts in the area.

The area is easily accessible from the nearby urban center and the best time to visit falls during the cooler months. Weather conditions are more pleasant during this period and wildlife viewing is more rewarding than at other times of year.

The sanctuary harbors more than 50 orchid species that thrive within these forests, making it a noteworthy destination for nature lovers. These flowering plants are a visible sign of the ecological wealth that the forest reveals during any visit.
