Wildlife lovers visiting Assam have another reason to plan a trip to Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary. The sanctuary has reopened for its new tourism season with an expanded fleet of safari vehicles, a newly inaugurated wildlife museum and plans to introduce elephant safaris.
Located in Morigaon district, Pobitora is especially popular for its population of Indian one-horned rhinoceroses. Its wetlands, grasslands and surrounding greenery also make it an appealing destination for nature enthusiasts and wildlife photographers.
More Safari Vehicles for Visitors
The sanctuary has increased its number of safari vehicles from 20 to 36 to accommodate more visitors. The additional vehicles are intended to help meet demand as travellers return for wildlife experiences.
Visitors should check available safari slots, booking requirements and entry arrangements before travelling, as availability can vary.
New Wildlife Museum Adds to the Experience
A new wildlife museum and a souvenir shop have also been inaugurated at the sanctuary. The museum gives visitors another way to learn about the region’s wildlife and conservation, while the shop offers an additional stop during a visit.
These facilities add variety to the experience beyond the safari itself.
Plans for Elephant Safaris
Elephant safaris are expected to be introduced as another visitor experience, subject to the necessary arrangements. Travellers should confirm whether these safaris have officially started before planning around them.
Tips for Planning Your Visit
Visitors should book through authorised channels, check safari timings and follow the sanctuary’s wildlife protection rules. Maintaining a safe distance from animals, avoiding litter and respecting the natural habitat are essential for responsible wildlife tourism.
With more safari vehicles and additional visitor facilities, Pobitora offers a fresh option for travellers looking to experience Assam’s wildlife and natural landscapes.
