Hollongapar Gibbon Sanctuary – A Hidden Treasure
The Hollongapar Gibbon Sanctuary is an isolated protected area of evergreen forest in Assam. It derives its name from the Hollong Tree that forms the upper canopy of the forest. Although the park is well connected yet due to lack of knowledge about the area it is not as popular with tourists.

In the early 1900s, artificial regeneration was used to develop a well-stocked forest, resulting in the site's rich biodiversity. The park offers a unique walking safari through its rain forests showcasing a stunning diversity of flora and fauna. It is home to the only ape in India – the Hoolock Gibbon. The park boasts of 7 species of primates, the Bengal Slow Loris, the Stump-tailed Macaque, Northern Pig-tailed Macaque, Eastern Assamese Macaque, Rhesus Macaque and Capped Langur. Also found at the sanctuary are Elephants, Leopards, Jungle Cats, Wild Boar, three types of Civet, four types of Squirrel, and several other types of mammal. At least 219 species of bird and several types of snake are known to live in the park.

The Hollongapar Gibbon Sanctuary contains India's only gibbons – the Hoolock Gibbons, and North-eastern India's only nocturnal primate – the Bengal Slow Loris. Definitely a unique destination to explore. For more information and itineraries contact us on engage@junglesutra.com
