Tour Overview
Hollongapar Gibbon Extension Tour
Gibbon Wildlife Sanctuary sits in the Jorhat district of Assam, less than an hour’s drive east of Kaziranga along NH37. This 2-day extension focuses on Hoolock Gibbons, canopy birding, and a nocturnal spotlight walk for Bengal Slow Loris inside a semi-evergreen forest unlike anything in Kaziranga’s open grasslands.
Hoolock Gibbons are India’s only ape. They call through the canopy in pairs and family groups, and locating them at dawn is one of northeast India’s most memorable wildlife moments.
The forest canopy holds Great Hornbill, Rufous-Necked Hornbill, Barbets, and Broadbills, species that rarely appear in open grassland reserves. The nocturnal walk with a naturalist adds the Bengal Slow Loris, one of the most elusive mammals in the entire northeast.
