Pani Dihing Wildlife Sanctuary

The 33.93-square-kilometer sanctuary encompasses grasslands and wetlands with multiple channels, including Tokia, Jarjaria, and Boloma water bodies.

The Government of Assam established Pani Dihing Wildlife Sanctuary in August 1996 after initial ornithological surveys conducted between 1987 and 1988.

The sanctuary represents a critical ecological zone where 267 bird species coexist, including 70 migratory species that return annually to these wetlands.

Visitors can reach the sanctuary by traveling 22 kilometers from Sivasagar town, with the optimal visiting period occurring between November and April.

The protected area sits between two major rivers, the Brahmaputra to the northwest and the Disang to the south, creating a dynamic water ecosystem.
