overview

India’s North-eastern states are a biodiversity hotspot and the state of Assam is home to the famous UNESCO world heritage Kaziranga National Park. Holding one of the world’s last and largest surviving populations of One-horned Rhinoceros, this place is nothing short of a paradise for photographers and wildlife enthusiasts.

Perched along the Banks of the mighty Brahmaputra, the river forms a lifeline to the Park. The torrential monsoon rains cause immense flooding in the river and most parts of the park are almost entirely submerged during July, August, and September. When the floodwaters recede, the park abounds in life. The plains are lush creating brilliant feeding grounds for Elephants, Indian One-horned Rhinos, Asiatic Water Buffalo, Hog Deer, and the rare and endangered Swamp Deer.

Interestingly, Kaziranga has one of the highest densities of wild Bengal Tigers. Here, they are seldom seen, making a Tiger sighting increasingly interesting and special. The wooded areas along the periphery of the park are a common haunt for India’s only ape, the Hoolock Gibbon. Arboreal Acrobats would be an ideal term to call these interesting species. Their calls peer through the silence and watching them swinging through the canopy is a visual delight.

During the winter months (Nov-Feb), avian winter migrants make their way south from their northern breeding grounds. Bird enthusiasts are sure to be amazed by the incredible diversity of wetland and forest birds found here. Over 300 species have been recorded in the park including different species of Pelicans, Ducks, Geese, Lapwings, Jacanas, Parakeets, Babblers, Mynas, Eagles, Shikras and the list goes on.
