Overview for Eaglenest Wildlife Sanctuary Tour

In 2006 a team of ornithologists described a new bird species from Eaglenest Wildlife Sanctuary called the Bugun Liocichla, named after the Bugun tribe who live near the forest. Finding a new bird species in 2006 in South Asia was not supposed to happen. It did. That is what kind of place this is. This eaglenest wildlife sanctuary tour runs 5 Days, 4 Nights from Guwahati, into West Kameng, for travellers who take birding seriously.

The sanctuary records over 450 species across a range of elevations, from tropical forest at the base to rhododendron forest higher up. Camps inside are basic by design, which is part of what keeps the habitat intact. The Inner Line Permit, vehicle and MAP meals are sorted before you arrive at Guwahati, and the birding is yours from the first trail.
