In Gorumara, there are watch towers
for viewing the animals inside the park. They are Yatraprasad Watch
tower (named in memory of a legendary elephant of that name), Rhino
observation point in front of the Gorumara forest bungalow, Old
Khunia Watch Tower near the Murti forest bungalow and Suksukia Bird
watching Point. Rhino observation point is the best place to observe
wild animals like rhino, elephant, bison and deer as they regularly
come to the salt reservoir just below the tower.
Jaldapara forest is mainly savannah covered with tall elephant
grasses. The main attraction of the sanctuary is Asiatic one-horned
rhinoceros. The sanctuary holds the maximum number of rhinos
population in India after Kaziranga National Park in Assam. The
other animals consists of Royal Bengal Tigers, elephants, deers,
sambhar, barking deer, spotted deer and hog deer, wild pig, bisons.
Jaldapara is a paradise for bird watchers. It is one of the very few
places in India, where the Bengal Florican is sighted. The other
birds to be found here are the Crested Eagle, Pallas's Fishing Eagle
and shikra, besides Jungle fowl, peafowl, patridges, Bengal Florican
and lesser Pied Hornbill. Python, monitor lizards, krates, cobras,
