Why to visit Kaziranga National Park

Kaziranga National Park is one of India's national treasures in terms of flora and fauna, as it is home to the world's largest population of one-horned rhinos. Its overall area is shared by the districts of Nagaon, Golaghat, and Karbi Anglong, placing it roughly in the centre of the state of Assam in North-Eastern India. Kaziranga National Park, located about five hours by car from Guwahati, is the epitome of effective animal conservation in India. It was designated as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1985.

Birds of various species can also be seen in the park. Various birds such as the black-nested stork, lesser white-fronted geese, ferruginous duck, and Baer's pochard duck, to name a few, can be seen in this renowned migratory location for birds flying down from the north. The great Indian hornbill and wreathed hornbill are two more famous bird families that can be found here.

During the open tourist season, safaris are available both during the day and at night. Tourists, as well as wildlife journalists and aficionados, enjoy elephant rides. Hiking is one of the activities that is restricted here in order to prevent injuries. At this national park, great care is taken to ensure that tourism and environmental sustainability go hand in hand.

Special Tip

If you wanna enjoy the jeep safari and elephant rides, make sure your pocket is full.
