About
Kaziranga National Park lies in Golaghat district in the Indian state of Assam, and it is best known as a wildlife reserve. The park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is also recognised as a tiger reserve. It is also known by the name Kaziranga Wildlife Sanctuary.
What you can see
The park is home to the world's largest population of the one-horned rhinoceros, the animal that most visitors come to see. Its grasslands and wetlands also support other wildlife, and the tiger reserve status means the park is protected as a habitat for big cats. Because the landscape is open in many places, a visit gives a good chance to watch animals in their natural surroundings rather than behind enclosures.
What kind of visit it makes
- A wildlife day: Much of a visit is spent travelling through the park in search of animals, so it suits people with patience and an interest in nature.
- A quiet outdoor trip: The setting is wide and green, away from busy city streets.
- A stop in Assam: The park sits in a region of the north-east of India that visitors often combine with other places in the state.
