Chakrashila Wildlife Sanctuary

This is one of the most popular wildlife sanctuaries well located in the Kokrajhar and Dhubri districts of Assam. It is certainly a great place to visit with friends and family and this wildlife den is well stretched over an area of 45,668 km2 over the Chakrashila Hills. Though the said sanctuary was declared as a reserve forest back in 1966 however it was only around 1994 when it was able to earn recognition by the state government and became a wildlife sanctuary thereafter. Besides having the Beel and Diplai Beel lakes in its vicinity, the said sanctuary is also well-known home to Golden Langur, Indian Flying Fox, Indian Pipistrelle, Chinese Pangolin, Rhesus Macaque, Asiatic Jackal, Bengal Fox, Hornbills, and several others. To make a note, this amazing sanctuary is said to be the second protected home to the very beautiful yet endangered Golden Langur who can be witnessed here in their natural habitat.
