Kaziranga Safari

You sway to the left and then to the right, as the elephant you are on, trudge through the tall grass (Elephant grass or Pennisetum purpureum) which you can actually touch from your perch. The mahout guides the majestic animal through trails and thickets and orders it to stop. Stop it does - right in front of a famed Indian One Horned Rhinoceros with her calf ! The rhino snorts, looks at you and decides to disappear into the thicket with it's youngling in tow.
 

Welcome to the Kaziranga National Park, a World Heritage Site. Its 430 square kilometers of swamps and grassland with tall thickets of savannah elephant grass and patches of evergreen forest support the largest number of one horned rhinos on the Indian subcontinent and offer you some of the best views of wildlife from the back of an elephant or from a four wheel drive vehicle.

But Kaziranga is not all about Rhinos. Apart from 60% of the world's endangered One-horned Rhinoceros, the Park sustains half the world's population of genetically pure Wild Water Buffaloes, over 1000 Wild elephants and perhaps the densest population of Royal Bengal Tigers anywhere. Kaziranga is also a bird watcher's paradise and home to some 500 species of birds. The Crested Serpent Eagle, Palla's Fishing Eagle and the Grey headed Fishing Eagle circle the skies above the marshes. The Swamp Partridge, the Bar-headed goose, the Whistling Teal, the Bengal Florican, Storks, Herons and Pelicans play in the water. Each monsoon, the mighty Brahmaputra breaches its banks and floods the park, breathing life back into the parched land and replenishing the 200 'beels' or shallow lakes with water and fish.

The easy accessibility to wildlife is the secret of Kaziranga's popularity among wildlife lovers and tourists. With its primeval vegetation, it presents a view of what the Brahmaputra valley must have been years ago, before it was touched by cultivation and civilization. Engaged in wildlife conservation since 1926, the park is on the National Highway 37, which passes along the park and is almost midway between the two major cities, Guwahati and Dibrugarh, amidst the undulating landscapes of the world's oldest tea gardens outside China.
