Jaldapara Wildlife Sanctuary,
was established in 1943 to help protect wildlife against the
encroachment of tea cultivation. Consisting of tracts of tall
elephant grass on the banks of the River Torsa, and set against
the backdrop of forested foothills, it now shelters, around
fifty highly endangered greater one-horned rhinoceroses, wild
elephants, sambar and hog deer. Jaldapara is open from November
to the end of April, with March being the best month to view
animals, as they graze on new shoots. |
