India is a country which has wide range of flora and fauna and offers a lot to its visitors in terms of jungle safaris, wildlife attractions etc. In the past few years, India is getting more and more concerned about the conservation of the endangered species and to fulfill this requirement many wildlife sanctuaries have been made in the recent years. Kaziranga is one of them. The national park spreads over an area of about 470 sq kms. It has been declared an UNESCO world heritage site in the year 1985.The soaring elephant grass make Kaziranga an ideal habitat for one of the most fascinating wildlife in Asia, the Indian One-Horned Rhino. Kaziranga lies in the midst of Burma Monsoon Forests and has tall and dense grasslands. The three major types of foliage are alluvial grasslands, evergreen dense forests and tropical wet semi-evergreen forests.
Apart from the Rhino, Kaziranga is home to various other animals like Elephants, Bison, Capped Langurs (a species of Monkey), Swamps, Deer, Leopards, Tigers, Pythons, Jungle Cats and many others. Besides giving shelter to the animals, Kaziranga is a bird paradise too. Different species like Black-Shouldered Kite, Fishing Eagle, White Tale Eagle, Himalayan Griffon etc. are regular in this national park. During the monsoon season, many birds and animals migrate from one area to another. The best time to visit the Kaziranga National Park is from mid-November to early April.
The best way to explore this wildlife sanctuary of India is through the Elephant Safari, also because walking is not permitted in the park area because of the potentially dangerous mammals. Start your safari when the dawn breaks, so as to make the most of your visit to Kaziranga. During this safari, you can experience one of the most amazing and delightful views; wild Elephant herds roaming around and Indian Rhinos pass by your convoy. Also, make sure you visit the Panbari reserve Forest to see some great woodland rarities. Here, you can find birds like Silver-beasted Broadbill, Asian Fairy Bluebird, Pale-capped Pigeon and Sultan Tit.
