Kaziranga National Park

Kaziranga National park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site is probably one of the richest, most pictorial wildlife habitats of southern Asia. It is the abode of the one horned Rhinoceros, which is spread over 850 sq. kms and is located in the flood plains on both sides of the Brahmaputra. The sanctuary lies at the cusp of the Indo – Malayan biological realm. The park is divided into four ranges – Burapahar range, Bagori range, Kohora range, Agoratoli range. A memorable way of exploring Kaziranga is on elephant – back. As the gentle creatures tread through the tall grass, one’s senses become keenly aware of the quiet and the vastness of the horizon fringed with blue mountains The other alternative is to take the Jeep safari which is also highly recommended as it offers the added benefit of covering a vast expanse in a relatively short span of time. Driving through the grasslands, with the misty forest air breathing on one’s face, the desire for adventure is quickly sparked. Passing through the denser forests there is a possibility of catching some ‘wild’ action. Although finding a tiger or a rhinoceros roaming amid the tall grass and Reed marshes of Kaziranga is possibly unsurpassed for the thrill, one is likely to encounter elephants, Indian Bison, swamp deer, sambhar, hog deer, leopards, sloth bear, hog badgers. Infact the park is known to be the home of the ” Big Five “: “ONE HORNED RHINOCEROS, TIGER, ELEPHANT, WILD WATER BUFFALO & SWAMP DEER”. The park is also known to be the Paradise for the ornithologist. Birds like lesser white-fronted goose, ferruginous duck, lesser adjutant, greater adjutant, black-necked stork, and Asian Open bill stork specially migrate from the Central Asia during the winter season.
