This 4 kmy plantation of the Soil Conservation Department in Sonitpur district has no resident rhino population. But due to its location, just north of Kaziranga, across the Brahmaputra, rhinos are seen frequently. In November-December 1989, one rhino stayed in the area for more than a month. In September 1990, two rhinos, which strayed up to the border of Arunachal Pradesh, were chased by Forest Department personnel to this area where they remained for a few days. In June-July 1995, one rhino was seen in the area and it moved into the Monabafi tea estate.
