- Description

Chakrashila Wildlife Sanctuary is a wildlife sanctuary located in Kokrajhar district and some adjacent areas of Dhubri district of Assam, India. It is famous for the golden langur, which is found in the sanctuary. The sanctuary covers an area of 45.568 square kilometers (17.594 square miles) and is the second protected habitat for golden langurs in India. Chakrashila Hill was first declared as reserve forest in 1966 and on 14 July 1994 it was recognized with the status of sanctuary by the Government of Assam. The sanctuary is mainly a hilly tract running north–south and there are two lakes (Dheer Beel and Diplai Beel) on either side, which are integral to the eco-system of the sanctuary. The lower hilly reaches are covered with sal coppice regeneration while middle and upper reaches are covered with mixed deciduous forests. The sanctuary provides facilities for bird watching, forest trekking, and wildlife and nature photography.
