Assam: Orang National Park to reopen September 30

GUWAHATI: The Orang National Park in Darrang and Sonitpur districts of Assam is all set to reopen for tourists on September 30.

ONP Divisional Forest Officer Pradipta Baruah in an official notice informed that all COVID-19 protocols and safety guidelines will be followed for the visitor.

Only a portion of the safari route inside the park will be opened for tourists at present due to the poor condition of roads owing to the recent flood, the DFO said.

"The remaining part of the route will be opened after repairing the roads and it will be notified in due course," he added.

The national park is located 32 km from Tezpur and 140 km from Guwahati.

It is known for wild animals like Royal Bengal Tiger, Indian Rhinos, and wild elephants.

All wildlife parks and sanctuaries in Assam are closed for tourists during the monsoon.
