Kaziranga National Park

Kaziranga National Park, the land of Great One-horned Rhinoceroses, is located in the north-eastern state of Assam, India. It is marked as a Natural World Heritage Site because of its rich biodiversity. The natural beauty and the environment of this park are simply enthralling. The park occupies around 370 km² of land covered in tall elephant grass, marshland and dense tropical moist forests. There are many water-bodies inside the park created by the network of four major rivers crisscrossing each other. Kaziranga is a paradise for both wild species and nature lovers.

Kaziranga National Park is home to many endangered species of this region. This park holds about two-third population of Indian Rhinoceroses. Kaziranga also holds the largest population of the Wild water buffalo in the world. Besides being home to the Great Indian One-Horned Rhinoceros, the park also has a high population of wild Asiatic water buffalo, eastern swamp deer, elephants, gaur and sambar. Other small herbivores found within the park are the Indian Muntjac, wild boar, and hog deer.

The highest density of tiger population in a protected area is another major achievement of Kaziranga National Park. Leopards, Jungle Cat and Fishing Cat also maintain a good population. The endangered Ganges Dolphin is also found in this park. The amazing biodiversity can also be seen in the bird species as a variety of migratory birds, water birds, predators and scavengers have made Kaziranga their home. .
