Complete answer:
Garampani Wildlife Sanctuary is a 6.05-square-kilometer wildlife sanctuary in Assam's Diphu (Karbi Anglong district). It is 25 kilometres from Golaghat. It is one of the oldest sanctuaries, with hot springs and waterfalls, and is flanked by Nambor Sanctuary, which has 51 unique orchid species.

Animal capture, slaughter, and poaching are all severely forbidden in certain areas. They want to provide the animals with a nice place to live. There are 566 wildlife sanctuaries in India, spanning an area of 122420 km2, or 3.72 percent of the country's geographical area. Another 218 sanctuaries are suggested in the Protected Area Network Report.
