The popular home to world\u2019s 2\/3rd population<\/strong> of one-horned Rhinos, Kaziranga National Park is a massive congregation of flora and fauna species. Almost 2200 one-horned rhinos<\/strong>\u00a0roam around the national park area along with another exquisite breed of wildlife. Thriving on the banks of river Brahmaputra, Kaziranga flaunts meadows, grasslands, swampy lagoons, and dense forests housing a myriad of wildlife and floral species.<\/p>\n

Kaziranga was declared as a world heritage site in 1985 and a protected reserve. The park was formed in 1908 in the Eastern Himalayan biodiversity hotspots of Golaghat and Nagaon district. After Lady Curzon visited the place located in the area, she was not too happy after not spotting the rhinos and that\u2019s when she asked Lord Curzon to initiate the making of a forest reserve in the area. Spread over 430 sq km. area<\/strong>, Kaziranga also has Guwahati, Assam, Nameri National Park, and Manas National Park located in its vicinity.<\/p>\n

Some of the popular animal species that can be spotted in the national park area are Great Indian One Horned Rhino, Pigmy Hog, Royal Bengal Tiger, elephant, Swamp Deer, Hispid Hare, Gangetic Dolphin, Wild Buffalo, Golden Langur, Hoolock Gibbon, Stump-tailed Macaque and Pig-tailed Macaque<\/strong>. The park has seen a rise in the number of tigers over the years. While elephants, wild water buffalo, and swamp deer continue to be the highest breeding animals in the park.<\/p>\n

Also, there are a few exotic species of white-fronted goose, ferruginous duck, Baer’s Pochard duck and lesser adjutant, greater adjutant, black-necked stork, and Asian Openbill stork that fly all the way from the Central Asia during winters. Only if you are spot on, you will get to see a lot of them!<\/p>\n

Among other noticeable feature of the park are the tall elephant grass, marshland, and dense tropical moist broadleaf forest. The wonderful cover of green around makes sure that the park looks nothing less than an Eden. To top it all, the Brahmaputra river present on the periphery gives the park a beautiful look from all around.<\/p>\n
