About this location

A riverine floodplain sanctuary on the south bank of the Brahmaputra, Laokhowa is critical habitat for Indian one-horned rhinoceros and wild water buffalo. Tall elephant-grass swamps and riverine forest similar to Kaziranga make this an exciting and less-visited alternative.

Photography tips for Laokhowa Wildlife Sanctuary

Reach the gate before opening light; many species move along edges of forest, meadows, or water at dawn. Use a long lens with a bean bag or gimbal head on shared vehicles, and keep spare batteries warm in cold destinations like high Himalaya.

Respect buffer zones and guide instructions — ethical positioning keeps stress off animals and often yields cleaner frames. Review your images in the field to adjust exposure for harsh midday sun versus misty mornings typical of Assam.
