The Kaziranga National Park in Assam has been one of the most successful Tiger Reserves in the country and probably the most scenic one. Today Kaziranga is lush green and inviting. It boasts of numerous Great One-horned Rhinoceroses, high density of Tigers, and countless elephants, wild water buffalo, and swamp deer not to mention Important Bird Area (recognized by Birdlife International).
It’s a pleasure driving up to the place. The road winds through a lovely stretch of forest.  Often you can spot plenty of wildlife on the roadside. Sometimes wild elephants block the road. Some lucky people have reported sighting tigers in the early hours.
The jungle safari is from 7:30 to 9:30 in the mornings and from 1:30 to 3:30 in the evenings. Of course there’s no guarantee that any animals will be sighted, especially in the cooler months. But a nice drive through the jungle is a good compensation.

To book the hotel/ resort in Kaziranga contact the Chief Conservator of Forests well in advance.  It is prudent to book well in advance during holiday seasons.
