The Ultimate Adventure in Kaziranga National Park, Assam
I just came back from the Kaziranga National Park in Assam, India, and it was a phenomenal experience. The park is famous for its one-horned rhinoceros but also for its lush greenery and diverse wildlife such as elephants, tigers, water buffaloes, deer, and over 400 species of birds. I went on a jeep safari, saw the rhinoceros in their natural habitat, and walked in the middle of the grasslands. Kaziranga is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and has a unique ecosystem. The Brahmaputra river runs through the park and during rainy seasons, it floods which creates a shallow lake where vast numbers of animals come to feed. It's an extraordinary sight. The locals I met were friendly and told me that the park helps preserve their culture and supplement their income. Visiting the park is an adventure that will give you a new appreciation for nature, wildlife, and indigenous cultures.
