About Jaldapara National Park

Jaldapara National Park is a 213-square-kilometre wildlife sanctuary in the foothills of the Eastern Himalayas, known for its Indian one-horned rhinoceros population and rich biodiversity. The park spans grasslands, riverine habitats, and sal forests along the Torsa River, making it one of the most important rhino conservation areas in India. It offers exceptional wildlife viewing opportunities and is home to elephants, wild water buffalo, tigers, leopards, and over 450 bird species.

💡Why Visit?

This is one of the best places in India to see Indian one-horned rhinoceros in their natural habitat, with guided jeep safaris and elephant-back tours providing intimate wildlife encounters. The park's pristine wilderness and accessible location from major cities make it ideal for serious wildlife photographers and nature enthusiasts.
