Also called the Baghmara Reserve Forest, it protects pitcher plants, and the state government declared it a wildlife sanctuary in July 2022, with 1.19 square kilometres notified for the purpose.
The plant at its centre is the endangered Nepenthes khasiana, known locally as Me'mang-Koksi, or ghost basket. Its population here is what the sanctuary is known for.
