Kaziranga National Park
|
|
Located in the heart
of Assam on the bank of the majestic Brahmaputra is the
Kaziranga National Park. Kaziranga National Prak in Assam is
inhabited by the world's largest population of one-horned
rhinoceroses, as well as many mammals, including tigers,
elephants, panthers and bears, and thousands of birds.
Assam Kaziranga National Park covers an area of approximately
430-sq-kms with its swamps and tall thickets of elephant grass
making it the most ideal habitat for the one-horned Indian
Rhino. Due to countless poaching of this prehistoric survivor,
the Kaziranga National Park was declared a wildlife sanctuary
in 1940. Most of the accommodation available at the park is
located along the NH 37, which runs along the southern border
of the park. The main locations of accommodation facilities
are at Kohora and Baguri. There is a variety of accommodation
types to choose from which consist of Forest rest houses,
Bungalows, Lodges and Hotels. Even though the number of rooms
available is good, the demand is more than the supply and it
is advisable to make your bookings well in advance to avoid
last minute harassment.

Elephant Rides
The first and more preferred mode is on elephant's back.
Elephant rides allow you to get up very close to the wild
animals and make you feel totally one with nature due to the
lack of any sound of an engine. These rides are taken out
thrice in a day from Mihimukh, which is located 3 km from
Kohora. There are only around 5 elephants available for
touring purposes and it is definitely advisable to book your
ride well in advance. These advance bookings can be made at
the Bonani Lodge at Kohora.

Jeep Safaris
Jeep Safaris are also available and can be booked at the
various lodges and through local operators. |
