Raimona National Park

Raimona National Park is a 422 sq km national park in Kokrajhar district, Bodoland Territorial Region, Assam, near Kachugaon and the India-Bhutan border. Notified as Assam's sixth national park on 5 June 2021, it forms the westernmost buffer of Manas Biosphere Reserve and is contiguous with Bhutan's Phibsoo Wildlife Sanctuary. Known for its semi-evergreen and sal forests, it is notable for Golden Langur, Asian Elephant, Royal Bengal Tiger and rich birdlife within the Chirang-Ripu Elephant Reserve.

Visitors can expect a forested landscape of semi-evergreen, mixed deciduous and sal forests interspersed with rivers including the Sonkosh and Saralbhanga. The park offers jeep safaris and guided nature walks through core and buffer areas, watchtowers and forest trails for wildlife and bird watching. Sightings may include Golden Langur, elephants, deer, and diverse birds. Facilities are basic with forest rest houses and guide services, and the setting is remote and natural bordering Bhutan.

The area was part of the Ripu Reserve Forest, notified as a reserved forest in 1892 and considered the oldest reserved forest in Assam. It was part of the Chirang-Ripu Elephant Reserve and Manas Biosphere Reserve buffer. On 5 June 2021, on World Environment Day, the Government of Assam notified 422 sq km of the Ripu Reserve Forest as Raimona National Park, making it the sixth national park of Assam.

Located in the Bodoland Territorial Region, the park lies in an area traditionally inhabited by Bodo and other local communities. The forest has long been used by local communities and is now promoted for community-based ecotourism with involvement of local guides and conservation initiatives focused on the Golden Langur.
