Wild Life Sanctuary

In the language of Assam’s Karbi tribe, Kaziranga means “where the mountain goat has water”. Spreading over 430 sq kms next to Brahmaputra’s south bank in Assam, Kaziranga National Park is home to two thirds of the world’s one-horned rhinoceros population, 70 percent of the world’s wild buffaloes, over 1000 elephants, 450 species of birds, swamp deer and before you awe, tigers.

Kaziranga is about 240 kms away from Guwahati and the nearest airport and railway station are in a town called Johrat, 97 kms away. While the Park opens from November to April, the best time to visit is March and April. The most visited tourist ranges in Kaziranga are Kohora and Baguri. Start with a Kohora safari in an open jeep (ideally pre-booked) with a driver and forest guard. As you drive deeper in to the forest, the tall elephant grass on both sides of the road will maintain a thrill of the unknown wild! You are almost sure to encounter an indolent family of one-horned rhinos or a bathing herd of elephants or an energetic bunch of swamp deer. Kaziranga is special in that way. Its rich habitat and plentiful animal population makes it highly possible to sight every animal in a two-hour safari. You can also choose to go for the Baguri safari or take one of the watchtowers to capture the wildlife on your lens. Kaziranga has the most potent display of Indian wildlife and provides for a unique and reviving experience.
