KAZIRANGA
NATIONAL
PARK
One
of the few parks in the sub-continent where animals are as visible as in
the African plains. Kaziranga encompasses extensive grasslands, lakes
and forest. Known for the largest remaining population of one-horned
rhinos, it is an equally important home for swamp deer, wild
buffalo,
hog deer, otters, Ganges dolphin and India's only ape, the
Hoolock gibbon. It provides wintering ground for bar-headed geese and
other migratory waterfowl. Elephant rides are available from Mihimukh
and a great way to safely see the fauna at close quarters.
