Trip at a Glance
About Kaziranga National Park
Kaziranga is Assam's wildlife flagship and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, holding the world's largest population of the greater one-horned rhinoceros alongside strong densities of Royal Bengal tigers, Asian elephants and swamp deer. Its rich, marshy terrain gives noticeably more reliable sightings than most Indian parks.
The park splits into distinct ranges — Central (Kohora), Western (Bagori), Eastern (Agoratoli), and Burapahar — each with a genuinely different character, from dense woodland to open wetland thick with migratory birds.
How to Reach Kaziranga National Park
Guwahati Gateway (~215 km, ~4.5 hrs)
The most common approach — pickup at Guwahati Airport, driving via NH715 to the park lodges.
Jorhat Airport (~90 km, ~2 hrs)
The fastest access point for travellers flying directly into Upper Assam.
Dibrugarh Drive (~245 km, ~5 hrs)
A smooth drive from our home base through tea estates, easily paired with a Majuli or Sivasagar detour.

| Spring Grass Clearing | Mar – Apr | Controlled burning of the tall elephant grass dramatically improves visibility for tiger and rhino spotting. |

Do I need to book safaris in advance?
