Overview
Kaziranga National Park, in the northeast Indian state of Assam, was established in order to protect the population of Indian Rhinoceros. A conservation success story, Kaziranga is now home to the largest population of Indian Rhinoceros, hosting two-thirds of the world’s population of this threatened species. It is also home to a high density of Asian Elephants and tigers, as well as other mammals such as Wild Water Buffalo, Swamp Deer, and many more. Kaziranga is also home to many bird species, including the Swamp Francolin, Pin-striped Tit-Babbler, and many more.
Would you like to sight the majestic One-horned Rhinoceros? That too in a tiger reserve with a stunning variety of landscapes and rich diversity of birdlife? This creature is best spotted in the marshy grasslands of Kaziranga National Park, a place that is also home to Water Buffalo, Tiger, Asian Elephants, and a plethora of bird species, including Greater Adjutant, Indochinese Roller, Swamp Francolin, and many more. A tour to Kaziranga with Asian Adventures not only ensures you get to enjoy the amazing wildlife here but also experience the rich history and local culture of the communities living around the park.
