Exploring Raimona National Park: A Treasure Trove of Biodiversity

Raimona National Park, declared as Assam's sixth national park on June 9th, 2021, is a sanctuary of natural wonders nestled in the westernmost part of Assam, India.

Covering a sprawling area of 422 square kilometers, this park forms a part of a larger transboundary conservation landscape alongside Phibsoo Wildlife Sanctuary in Bhutan and Buxa Tiger Reserve in West Bengal.

The park is located in Kokrajhar district of Bodoland Territorial Region (BTR) in Assam, India. BTR is the 6th Schedule Autonomous Council within the state of Assam.
