An untapped jungle, a dense forest with full of wildlife still intact to wonder every wildlife enthusiastic. Not a world famous and thickly visited place by tourist though, only because of lack of smart marketing, unlike many other so called wildlife sanctuaries(where you’ll find much ado about nothing). But Kaziranga quietly has the laurels and heritage of having world’s largest populations of one horned rhinoceros and world’s highest density of Royal Bengal Tigers i.e. 32 in 100sq k.m (as per census April 2010). If that’s not enough, you’ll be thrilled with verities of other animals, migratory birds, flora and fauna in every single meter once you enter this blissful nature’s paradise.

Kaziranga is located in upper Assam (North East of India). The park is located just an hours driving distance from our home and we don't miss any chance to visit whenever we go home. For us its a best place for family picnic at Kohora (place opposite the park) and to enjoy the safari inside the park. Last time we visited, we had fun playing with one week old baby elephant that Laxmi (park safari elephant) given birth. Another treat was to watch and hear the sounds of massive flock of migratory birds flying back during the twilight, and that view of birds flying and sun setting for the day with light maroon color rays was mesmerizing. That feeling was beyond I can express in any words here :-).
Well, one can reach Kaziranga by air/rail to Guwahati or Dibrugarh or Jorhat then travel few hours by road to reach the park. There are many resorts available to stay in the vicinity of the park depending on budget. WildGrass resort, IORA are popular there, a bit expensive side, but no dearth of economy option either.
