'''''Bornadi Wildlife Sanctuary''''' ({{lang-as|বৰনদী অভয়াৰণ্য}}) is a {{Convert|26.22|km2|adj=on}} [[wildlife sanctuary]] situated on the foothills of Himalayas bordering [[Bhutan]] in the north and in [[Udalguri district]] & [[Baksa District]] of [[Assam|''Assam, India'']]. This sanctuary was named after the river Bornadi which flows on its western border. It is {{Convert| 30|km|abbr=on}} from [[Tangla]] town<ref name="wikimapia1"/><ref>{{cite web |url=http://assamforest.in/NP_Sanctuaries/wls_Bornadi.php |title=Department of Environment & Forests (Government of Assam) |publisher=Assamforest.in |accessdate=2013-06-19 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130517203944/http://assamforest.in/NP_Sanctuaries/wls_Bornadi.php |archive-date=17 May 2013 |url-status=dead }}</ref> and {{Convert| 130|km|abbr=on}} from [[Guwahati]]. The sanctuary was established in 1980 to protect the [[hispid hare]] (''Caprolagus hispidus'') and [[pigmy hog]] (''Porcula salvania''). Pretty approachable at about 11&nbsp;km out of library point, the sanctuary is home to many birds such as The [[White-capped redstart|White Capped Water Redstart]] and the [[Blue Magpie|Red Billed Blue Magpie]]. Sometimes we can also find some animals including panther, [[deer]], [[Himalayan goat]] and [[leopard]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.jaypeehotels.com/blogs/2018/05/30/explore-places-near-mussoorie-staying-luxury/ |title=Places Near Mussoorie |publisher=jaypeehotels.com |accessdate=2018-05-30 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181221182908/https://www.jaypeehotels.com/blogs/2018/05/30/explore-places-near-mussoorie-staying-luxury/ |archive-date=21 December 2018 |url-status=dead }}</ref><br />
