About Kaziranga, India

Rhinos roam free in Assam's wild heart

Established in 1974, Kaziranga National Park was a response to dwindling rhino populations and has since become a conservation success story. Today, its 430 square kilometres of tall elephant grass, dense forests, and wetlands are home to over 2,400 one-horned rhinos, 1,000 elephants, and countless waterbirds. As you explore its four-wheel-drive trails or glide through on a sunrise boat safari, the park's isolation and primal beauty envelop you.
