Why January here
Explore it by boat: wild feral horses, hoolock gibbons and the Maguri beel birdlife.
Dibru-Saikhowa is a riverine park you explore by water, not by road: boat safaris through flooded forest and grass islands, with feral horses (descendants of WWII-era stock) on the banks and hoolock gibbon and dolphins in the channels.
Wildlife this month: Kaziranga and Manas are open and at their best: grass is short and sightings are easiest.
