The Brahmaputra river basin has bestowed the land of Assam with natural wonders. It has created an ecosystem so diverse around its belt that almost 80% of the flora and fauna that thrives here is unique to this region.When it comes to places to visit in Assam, one of the names always makes its impression. Located on the banks of The Mighty Brahmaputra and at a distance of almost 228 km from Guwahati, lies the Kaziranga National Park.
One of the most diverse forest areas of India, Kaziranga Tourism is famous because of the Great One Horned Rhinoceros. Apart from the Rhinos, Kaziranga has a huge and thriving population of Tigers, Swamp Deer, Leopards, Bears and Elephants.
If you are planning to move on from the regular crowded forest trails of India and see something unique and out of the world, then Kaziranga is the place to be.
In the year 1904, Lord Curzon’s wife visited Assam to see the local population of Rhinoceros but couldn’t find any. Concerned about the dwindling population of The Rhinos, she persuaded her husband to create a safe haven for the local animal population. And this is how the Kaziranga tourism project came to life in the year 1905.
Kaziranga Tourism has been declared a world heritage site by UNESCO. Being one of the biggest natural landscapes of North East India, Kaziranga represents the Brahmaputra Valley Floodplains. The uniqueness of this region’s diversity prompted UNESCO to work towards its conservation and make necessary arrangements to stop hunting and poaching.
Today, a number of Kaziranga national park hotels have developed their operations in an eco-friendly way without harming the nature. North East- The land of scenic beauty pays special attention towards the conservation of this forest.

North East is famous for its many legends. Kaziranga National Park is no exception. It is said that a girl Ranga, from a nearby village, and a boy named Kazi, from Karbi Anglong, fell in love. The local village authorities rejected this union and so the couple decided to run away. They wandered into the forest and no one saw them ever again. Thus the name Kaziranga Forest came into existence.
Another legend says that the sixteenth century Vaisnava saint-scholar, Srimanta Sankardeva, once blessed a childless couple, Kazi and Rangai. As a part of the blessing, they were asked to dig a big pond in the region so that their name would live on.
