park gate chalets 374 bird species have been recorded in the park, including such rarities as the whiterumped vulture





374 bird species have been recorded in the park, including such rarities as the whiterumped park gate chalets vulture (which may now be extinct in the park), greater spotted eagle and the white-winged duck. Of the big mammals, wild elephants are present as are numerous deer species and a few rarely seen tigers. However, for many mammal-spotting naturalists, the park s most exciting park gate chalets resident is the critically endangered dwarf hog, which, after many years of absence has recently been returned to the wild thanks to a successful captive breeding park gate chalets project run by the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust (www.durrell.org). Park fees include the compulsory park gate chalets armed guard. Access park gate chalets is from Potasali, 2km off the Tezpur Bhalukpong road (turn east at one-house hamlet Gamani, 12km north of Balipara).

This historic Angami-Naga village was the site of two major British Angami siege battles park gate chalets in 1847 and 1879. Built on an easily defended ridge (very necessary back in headhunting park gate chalets days), Khonoma looks beautifully traditional.
