Visited in November 2020. At present, Jeep Safari is available at Bagori and Kohora ranges. While coming from Guwahati, the Bagori entrance comes first. One needs to be attentive towards timings of safari as in morning, it is from 7 to 10 and then there is a break for around 3 hours and the jeep safaris restart at 1.00 p.m. So one can save time by avoiding reaching there after 10 or planning to reach there after 1 only. The safaris are available from private operators outside at fixed rates and private vehicles are not allowed inside the sanctuary.
The total duration of safari is around 1.50 hours and one can spot rhinos, elephants, deers and different species of birds, though from a distance, but it is a different and unique experience and the comfortable weather made it all the more better. The staff accompanying in the safari is well aware and able to spot different inhabitants of the sanctuary very fast and is patient to show you the same and allow sufficient time to take photos.
There are a vast number of hotels and homestays available near the sanctuary and one can plan accordingly as per preferences, if required.
The serene and vast junglescape, the expansive natural resources and environment, and the beautiful mountain ranges around make it a visual treat to capture in your cameras.
Located at around 200 kms guwahati, it takes around 3.50 hours to reach there, and 1 day is sufficient to plan the trip to the sanctuary and other spots around, if started early and planned as per timings of sanctuary.
