Hollongapar Gibbon Sanctuary situated near Jorhat. This small forest is visited by walk. Hence the best season to visit is winter if you are also scared of leech like me. The best time to visit is early morning. It is home to primates like stump-tailed macaque, northern pig-tailed macaque, capped langur etc the most famous being the hoolock gibbons. Gibbons are monogamous and live as family units till the offspring turn adults. The young ones are light brown in colour and the colour changes to black as they attain adulthood in case of males. They almost never come down to ground and move by swinging from branch to branch which is a sight to behold. They sing very loudly and generally quite gentle. Last Sunday we visited Hollongapar. We could see the Malayan giant squirrel and Gibbons. When we came out of forest and started walking along the railway track running through the forest, we saw a male Gibbon in a tree by the track. He treated us to a beautiful show of acrobatics by making huge leap from one tree to another. There are also leopards, elephants, wild boars, several varieties of snakes, around two hundred species of birds and butterflies. Most of the vegetation is evergreen and is composed of several canopy layers. The flora includes Hollong (the state tree of Assam), Shashi, Fig, Agar, Titachopa, bamboo, ferns and orchids. I was overjoyed to see ronga bahak (tita phool) which is a delicacy for me!
