There are seven revenue villages within this sanctuary, namely [[Khond]], Injani, Archoka, Durgain, Kesar, Chattauli and Dhaulpur. Except for Khond, these villages are very small, with less than 20 households. The Tamor Hills, having an area of 250 km<sup>2</sup>, is a table land rising sharply from the neighboring villages of Tamki, Ghui and Barpetia.

The area, which is under Tamor, Khond and Pingla Ranges of the Surguja Jashpur Elephant Reserve Forest Division, consists of [[Sal tree|sal]] and [[bamboo]] forests.

== Fauna ==
Spread over {{convert|608.55|km2|abbr=on}}, the sanctuary supports [[Asian elephant]]s, [[Bengal tiger]]s, [[Indian leopard]]s, [[bear]]s, [[Sambar deer]], [[nilgai]], [[chital]], [[bison]], [[four-horned antelope]], [[chinkara]], [[barking deer]], [[wild boar]]s, [[Dhole|wild dogs]], [[Indian wolf|wolves]], [[Golden jackal]]s, [[Striped hyena]]s, [[hare]], [[cobra]]s, nag, [[Pythonidae|python]]s, [[red jungle fowl]], brown jungle fowl and [[green pigeon]].
