Cross into
Raimona National Park in January
Assam’s newest park, on the Bhutan line in Bodoland.
Quick answer. Winter. Cool, dry and clear across the Brahmaputra valley, this is peak wildlife season. For Raimona National Park specifically, January is inside the short good window, so lock stays early.

Why January here
Golden langurs, the Sankosh river and fresh foothill forest in the west of the state.
Raimona, notified as a national park in 2021, anchors the western Bodoland belt along the Bhutan border: riparian forest, golden langur habitat and the Sankosh river, with rafting stretches upstream toward Bogamati.
Wildlife this month: Kaziranga and Manas are open and at their best: grass is short and sightings are easiest.
What to do
Golden langur country
Contiguous habitat with Manas for this rare primate.
Bogamati rafting
Sankosh river runs below the Bhutan foothills.
