Kaziranga National Park- the Pride of Assam

 Ever wondered how it would be to go on a safari and to make your way to the heart of a dense forest?

While doing nothing but spending time amidst nature and exploring the splendor of the woods, suddenly you catch the sight of exotic birds flying across the distant swamp lands, a bunch of eastern swamp deer gracefully clipping the grass off the ground, and a hefty animal slowly moving by the paddy field with its horn pointing straight towards the sky. On one side there is a herd of Asiatic buffaloes with their newly born calves.

As your urban mind manages to make peace with all the wild animals roaming freely, out of the blue you are shaken by the loud trumpets of an elephant, not too far from you. And looking around you, you spot a group of people seated in a teak wood chair on the back of a gigantic elephant that is peacefully carrying them for a tour around the forest.

The above is not an extract from a fairy tale. Yes, such places do exist, and one of them is the Kaziranga National Park in Assam.

Home to two-thirds of the world’s great one-horn rhinoceroses and named a world heritage site, Kaziranga National Park is a vast territory of elephant-grass meadows, swampy lagoons, and dense forests that are magnificently spread across 430 square kilometers on the banks of the mighty Brahmaputra. If you’re up for an adventure, spend a day in a land that looks like a set straight from The Lion King, a place where life blossoms at every step.

Kaziranga National Park is not only about rhinos and other wildlife; there are other things to do too that might interest you like hiking and camping. Make sure to look out for these activities in various Assam tour packages and pick the right one to make your trip more memorable.
