Where the wild finds a home
The landscape of Bura Chapori Wildlife Sanctuary is a masterful composition of wet alluvial grasslands that sway in the river breeze, interrupted by patches of dense semi-evergreen forests. Can you imagine the peace and tranquillity of this place? Moreover, the riverine patterns create a network of wetlands that nurture this unique habitat, while a treasure trove of medicinal herbs and plants is hidden among the grass blades and forest floors.
This rich habitat supports some of India's most magnificent mammals, like the majestic one-horned rhinoceros and elephants. The sanctuary also harbours the elusive tigers and leopards, who patrol their territory with calculated stealth, while herds of wild buffalo and hog deer graze cautiously. Whether you spot a wild pig rushing through the undergrowth or hear the distant trumpet of an elephant, every moment in Bura Chapori tells a story of life thriving in this protected paradise.
Make the most of your visit
For the intrepid explorer, Bura Chapori offers a treasure trove of experiences that bring you face-to-face with its untamed beauty. Early morning wildlife safaris offer a chance to see rhinos grazing in the misty grasslands or a herd of elephants making their way to the riverside.
If you love birdwatching, don't forget to bring your binoculars and cameras, especially during the winter when the sanctuary transforms into a haven for migratory birds. Wildlife photographers can spend hours in the strategically placed watchtowers, waiting for that perfect moment when a leopard emerges from the shadows or when the golden light bathes the landscape during sunrise and sunset.
If you seek a deeper connection with nature, you can also stay at the forest department's guest house or resorts scattered around the sanctuary.
