It covers an area of about 5.18 square kilometers and is situated near the village of Siju, named after the 'Attong' subtribe of the Garo people living there.
The sanctuary is known for its rich biodiversity, including tropical moist evergreen, semi-evergreen, and deciduous forests, and is home to various animals such as Asian elephants, tigers, clouded leopards, barking deer, and unique primates like hoolock gibbons. It is also famous for birdwatching, hosting rare and protected birds including the grey hornbill, spoonbills, and Siberian ducks.
