A Day at Dibru Saikhowa National Park ~
On this tour we were hosting our guest from England Ms. Walker who joined us on a tour of Upper Assam at the locations of Dibru Saikhowa National Park, Digboi, Margherita, Ledo and Lekhapani during the month of November 2017. Our first destination was the Dibru Saikhowa National Park where I was scheduled to meet Ms. Walker at around 12 PM. I already had another group of guests here at the Dibru Saikhowa National Park and we had toured the park the earlier day and today I had taken Mr. Terang and his family to witness the grandeur of the Longest Bridge in India – the Dr. Bhupen Hazarika Bridge aka the Dhola-Sadiya bridge. After dropping them at Makum I headed to the Dibru Saikhowa National Park to greet and welcome Ms. Walker.
It was already noon and I reached the Banashree Eco Resort at Dibru Saikhowa National Park where Ms. Walker was waiting for me. I greeted her by offering her a ‘Gamusa – an assamese traditional towel’ and we introduced ourselves. It was already lunch time and we ordered our lunch at the Banashree Eco Resort. After lunch we discussed on our Itinerary here at the Dibru Saikhowa National Park as well as the Ms. Walkers upcoming Itinerary across North East India where she was scheduled to visit the Hornbill Festival and Majuli Island. It was already late afternoon and we headed to explore our first destination for the day near the Dibru Saikhowa National Park – the Maguri Beel. We were accompanied by a local guide Mr. Bicky a very young and talented guy who is an avid birdwatcher and knows the birds around the area. Our boat was already arranged and we boarded our boat to take a ride around the Maguri Beel. This water body is a bird watchers paradise especially during winters when the migratory birds flock here and the entire area looks so colorful with their presence. Ruddy Shelducks are the most popular bird species to be spotted here. We spotted various other bird species of the likes of Purple Swamphens, Marsh Babbler, Swamp Prinia, Grassland Warblers, Black Breasted Parrotbill, Great Cormorant, Indian Shag, Grey Heron, Purple Heron, Bar headed Goose, Common Teal, Garganey, Eurasian Wigeon, Black Kite, Cotton Teal and many more. It was also interesting to see the local villagers fishing around the Maguri Beel. They set up unique bamboo traps to catch fish here and later during the day or early mornings come to check on the traps and carry home their catch to sell off to the local markets at Tinsukia and Dibrugarh. It was getting dark and we decided to call it a day and we returned to the Banashree Eco Resort at the Dibru Saikhowa National Park. I bid goodbye to Ms. Walker and we agreed to get together the next day to take a boat ride into the Dibru Saikhowa National Park.
The next day I arrived in the morning at Banashree Eco Resort. Today we had planned to take a boat ride to visit the Kekjori tree inside the Dibru Saikhowa National Park and then later in the day we had planned to visit the Dolphin point here to sight the endangered species of river dolphins here at the Dibru Saikhowa National Park. I had arranged for a smaller boat as there were only the two of us to explore the Park and a bigger houseboat would mean an unnecessary expense. We started off at 9.30 AM to cross the Dibru river to reach the other side of the river into the interiors of the Dibru Saikhowa National Park. After walking for a around 30 minutes we reached the area of the Kekjori tree which is indeed a magnificent tree spread over a huge area. The tall branches and roots of this tree is indeed a spectacle to watch here at the Dibru Saikhowa National Park. After spending some time here we decided to walk back to the starting point. We then went on to the Dolphin point to the see the river dolphins of Dibru Saikhowa National Park. It needs a lot of patience and keen eyes to spot these dolphins here. The dolphin sighting point is located in the midst of the River Dibru and the dolphins are scattered around over a huge area of the river. There are not many of these dolphins surviving as rampant killing of these majestic creatures reduced their number to a great extent and only a few of them survive now at the protected waters of Dibru Saikhowa National Park, Kaziranga National Park, Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary and some other areas in the Brahmaputra river. These dolphins jump out of the waters for a while and then head back into the waters of the river. We waited for a while until the time we got to sight the first river dolphin here at the Dibru Saikhowa National Park. It was a short wait until we sighted another one. In a span of around 45 minutes we were able to sight a total of 7 river dolphins. It was time we returned to our Eco Resort and had our lunch to continue our journey to the Singpho Eco Lodge at Margherita.
