Orang Tiger Reserve

Orang Tiger Reserve is located in the Darrang and Sonitpur districts of Assam, under the jurisdiction of Mangaldoi Wildlife Division. The Tiger Reserve has the smallest core area of 79.28 Sq.km. Brahmaputra flows through the southern boundary of the Orang National Park and is cut across by a network of channels connecting the river, particularly during the monsoon. Tributaries Pachnoi River, Belsiri River, and Dhansiri River flow along the boundary of the Park and ultimately meet the Brahmaputra River. Orang primarily consists of four types of vegetation (Champion & Seth, 1968), namely the eastern Himalaya's moistdeciduous forests, the eastern seasonal swamp forest, the Khair-Sisso woods, and the eastern wet-alluvial grasslands (Deka and Saikia, 2015).
