Chapramari Wildlife Sanctuary

চাপড়ামারি বন্যপ্রাণ অভয়ারণ্য

A dense forest sanctuary north of Gorumara. Its main watchtower overlooks a saline pond, and wild elephants and Indian gaur are frequently spotted.

Chapramari lies north of Gorumara, between the Murti and Jaldhaka rivers. Its forest is denser than Gorumara's, and it is famous for Asian elephant herds; Indian gaur, deer and peafowl are also common. Jeep safaris here depart in sessions from Lataguri or the sanctuary entrance, much like those at Gorumara. The main watchtower faces a saline pond where animals come to drink. The forest department has cabins inside the sanctuary, and those who stay overnight may hear elephants calling at night. Entry tickets and jeeps must be booked in advance, and you can combine different sessions with a visit to Gorumara.
