Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary is a compact protected area in Assam's Morigaon district, accessible as an excursion from Guwahati. Declared a wildlife sanctuary in 1987, its grasslands and wetlands are especially important for the Indian one-horned rhinoceros. The habitat also supports water buffalo, wild boar and a varied bird population, particularly around its marshes and seasonal water bodies.
Visits to Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary commonly involve authorised jeep or elephant safaris, subject to season, weather and forest-department operations. Mayong village is nearby and can be included in a regional itinerary. Travellers should confirm current opening dates, safari booking procedures and fees before departure from Guwahati. Wildlife must be observed quietly from approved routes, with guides' instructions followed throughout the visit.
