Lawalong Wildlife Sanctuary was earlier under the control of the Raja of Ramgarh and other landlords in the area.

In earlier days, the presence of wildlife in high numbers in these forests attracted hunters from all over the country.

There is a road connecting the Gaya-Ranchi state highway and leads to Lawalong village and passes through the sanctuary area.

The buses for Lawalong and Kunda ply on these roads and halts at important places like Lutidih, Bagra Mor etc.

The forests are miscellaneous in nature and the canopy is moderately close with trees attaining good height and diameter growth.
