Raimona National Park, National park in Kokrajhar, India
Raimona is a national park in the Bodoland region of Assam that spreads across forested hills, open grasslands, and several waterways. The landscape shifts between dense jungle and clearings that open up views of slopes and valleys.
The Indian government declared this area a national park in June 2021, making it one of the newest protected zones in the northeast. Before that, the region was part of a larger forest reserve that has now been placed under stricter protection.
The golden langur is the park's best-known animal and is treated as a lucky symbol across the Bodoland region. The park also holds more than 150 butterfly species and 380 kinds of plants and orchids, and four other primates live here: slow loris, Assamese macaque, rhesus monkey and capped langur.
The best time to visit is between November and March, when the weather is drier and wildlife is easier to spot. Visitors reach the entry points by road from nearby towns, but should be prepared for unpaved sections and changing conditions.
The park shelters one of the few populations of the golden langur, a primate found only in a small part of South Asia. Elephants cross the grounds regularly along old migration routes they have used for decades.
