It is located in the North-Eastern Indian state of Assam, and its total area is shared by the districts of Nagaon, Golaghat, and Karbi Anglong, placing it roughly in the state’s center. Kaziranga National Park, located approximately five hours by road from Guwahati, is the epitome of successful wildlife conservation in India. It was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1985.

This national park takes great care to ensure that tourism and natural sustainability coexist.

This national park is distinguished by tall elephant grass, marshlands, and tall tropical broadleaf forests, which receive massive amounts of rainfall each year, sometimes exceeding dangerous levels. A diverse range of wildlife thrives here, including the one-horned rhino, Asiatic elephants, wild water buffalo, leopards, and Royal Bengal Tigers. Kaziranga National Park is also officially designated as a Tiger Reserve, and it is home to one of the world’s largest tiger populations.
