The Kaziranga Wildlife sanctuary is famous for being the habitat of the world’s two third population of endangered one horned Rhinoceros.

It was created in 1904 and after 68 years was declared as a National Park. The Kaziranga is also the home to tigers,elephants,swamp deers and wild water buffaloes. The national park experiences the summer, monsoon and the winter seasons. During the months of July-August the park gets flooded by the Brahmaputra. This forces the animals to shift elevated regions. The best time to visit Kaziranga is during the months of November-April. The temperature is pleasant and mild during this time.
