The Orang National Park, located on the northern bank of the Brahmaputra River in Assam’s Darrang and Sonitpur districts, is set to reopen for both domestic and foreign tourists from tomorrow.
The park, often referred to as the “Mini Kaziranga of Assam,” remains closed during the monsoon season and will now welcome visitors eager to explore its lush landscapes and rich wildlife.
Home to a thriving population of Bengal tigers, one-horned rhinoceroses, elephants, and a wide variety of bird species, Orang offers a unique experience for wildlife enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.
Park authorities expressed optimism that this tourist season will witness a higher footfall compared to previous years. According to official data from the regional forest office, Orang National Park recorded a revenue of ₹3.66 lakh last year, with 2,300 tourists, including 42 foreign visitors.
At present, the park is home to over 125 one-horned rhinos and 26 tigers, reflecting its crucial role in Assam’s conservation efforts.
With the reopening, the forest department has urged visitors to adhere to eco-tourism guidelines to ensure the protection of wildlife and the park’s delicate ecosystem.
