 Famed all over the world as a natural habitat for one-horned rhinoceros and wild buffalo, Kaziranga Wildlife Sanctuary is situated in the northeastern state of Assam. Sprawled over an area of 430 sq. kms, the place is one of the most beautiful and much visited destinations in India throughout the year. Located on the banks of the mighty Brahamaputra River, the Kaziranga wildlife Sanctuary is swamped from all sides by enormous elephant grass that makes it an ideal habitation for all the species inhabiting it. The place was declared a Wildlife Sanctuary in 1940. If you also wish to visit this place then join us on Tours to Kaziranga, India.
Besides Rhino and Buffalo, elephants can also seen moving around in large numbers in the place. Herds of up to 200 wild elephants can be seen migrating from the Mikir hills to the bheels. One must be alert as the bull elephant is prone to create problems. There are also a large number of untusked males that are known as makhnas found in the sanctuary, which are often mistaken as a female elephant. The real excitement for the visitors comes alive when sometimes the riding elephants wander into a herd of other wild elephant and caresses its trunk, oblivious of the petrified human specie sitting on its back. You can also be a part of this excitement with Tours to Kaziranga, India.
