Abode to one horn Rhino !!
The famed one-horned rhinoceros,with Brahmaputra on upper side,it becomes India one of the best known tourism mascots,this national park is the home to many wildlife.
As a part of our annual travel, in this year of 2019, we planned for the tour of East India. In the list of places which could easily be covered in the duration of 4 days, were two states Assam and Meghalaya. In Assam, we opted Guwahati and Kaziranga (2 Days). For the remaining two days, Meghalaya, known for wettest places in the world, Cherrapunji, also called as Shora and Dawki City for Umngot River. Although this itinerary as a whole did not turn out as the best Itinerary
Trip starts with Kaziranga National park from Guwahati Airpot.
Why only Kaziranga National Park?
We have been travelling to many places in the last couple of years. During this span, we visited national parks like Sariska National Park at Alwar, Rajasthan. Jim Corbett National Park at Uttarakhand. When we compare all these three, we find Kaziranga National Park as more enriched with flora-fauna Terran. Being visited during the offbeat time of the year, this place was no less beautiful.
Best Season to Visit Kaziranga National Park: Is Monsoon or months around it.
One thing that I must say, going to Visit Kaziranga would take your full day if you are starting from Guwahati Airport. The distance between Airport and the Kaziranga National park is approx 230 Km and it will take your 4-5 Hours
Story of Kaziranga National Park:
Spread across an area of 57,273.6 acres (232 km²), divided into three ranges, Eastern, Western and Central Range. All these ranges are miles apart and have their individual access to the park. These all ranges have their different ticket counter. Cost at each counter varies range to range and season to season. The central range is famous for Elephant Safari which gives you a better opportunity to witness Rhinos from near.
What we did?
In Kaziranga National Park we chose the central range because we had to go to Cherrapunji post safari.
If we talk about the mode of safari in the Jungle their are mainly two Elephant Safari and Jeep Safari. The cost differs for both mode range to range.
We chose
Few things that you are not allowed/supposed to carry with you:
1. Plastic bags/Plastic Materials
2. Water bottle you can carry with you but you can not /should not
be thrown into the jungle.
People of Assam !!
People in Assam are very nice, they are helpful, they speak Hindi, English and their local Assamese language. So if you wish to book for the shared ride, go for it you will enjoy more.
With cool Breeze of
The Rhino we saw was very far from the naked view. We tried to capture the image from the lenses, I guess if you go by elephant Safari then the chances to witness it from close is higher.
