Kharar

Gorumara was declared a wildlife sanctuary in 1949 and a national park in 1992. Although Jaldapara National Park is traditionally considered popular for its one-horned rhinos, Gorumara has overtaken Jaldapara in footfall over the years and the options for jungle safari have also increased. Gorumara National Park lies in the Himalayan foothills and has great natural beauty. The park is on the bank of the Murti and Raidak rivers and has the vegetation of riverine grasslands interspersed with savannah woodlands. Much of the forest is moist deciduous and sal (shorea robusta) is the most common and valuable tree. Teak, simul, siris, khair are also found here. This article also covers Chapramari Wildlife Sanctuary, which is separated from Gorumara by the Murti River. Gorumara has recorded 50 species of mammals, 300 species of birds, 20 species of reptiles, and 30 species of amphibians.
