Best Time to Visit:
The best time to visit Pobitora National Park is between November and March. During this period, the weather is pleasant, and the chances of spotting wildlife are higher. The park remains closed during the monsoon season, typically from May to October, due to heavy rainfall and flooding.
Location: Pobitora National Park is located in the Morigaon district of Assam, about 50 kilometers from Guwahati. Nestled in the floodplains of the Brahmaputra River, this wildlife sanctuary is renowned for its dense population of the Indian one-horned rhinoceros. Despite being relatively small, covering an area of just 38.8 square kilometers, Pobitora boasts one of the highest concentrations of these majestic creatures in the world.
Wildlife and Biodiversity: Pobitora is a treasure trove of biodiversity. Besides the famous one-horned rhinos, the park is home to a variety of other wildlife, including wild boars, Asiatic buffaloes, leopards, and a range of reptiles. The park is also a birdwatcher’s paradise, hosting over 200 species of birds, both resident and migratory. During the winter months, the wetlands within the park attract numerous migratory birds, making it a prime destination for ornithologists.
