Kaziranga National Park

On the bank of the mighty Brahmaputra River, in the Indian province of Assam, you will find an amazing bio-diversity in Kaziranga National Park.

Comprising an area of about 430 sq km, Kaziranga is full of swamps and tall thickets of elephant grass making it an ideal home for the Indian one-horned rhino. Watching big games is a different type of thrill altogether and if you have a taste for it then it is time to pack your bag and head straight for Kaziranga National Park.

This is the only place in India where tourists can see rhinoceros in its natural habitat.

Other than one horned Indian rhino, you can also see other animals like the tiger, elephant, hyena, sambar, nilgai, chinkara and chowsingha. There are also crocodiles and langurs in the national park. The park is also rich in plant diversity. There are quite a few lakes in the park and if you love to watch birds you will find more than 5000 of these beautiful feathers. Rare species like blackbucks too can be found here.

There is a railway station and an airport at Jorhat. It is only 97 km away from the town. Kaziranga is only 240 km away from Guwahati airport. The roads are well maintained and you can board a public transport to reach this place.

There are also cars for hire if you please. The best time to get a glimpse of this wonderful place is November to April. Kaziranga is a nature lover's paradise.
