Frequently Asked Questions

1. Where is Kaziranga National Park located?

Kaziranga National Park is located in the Golaghat, Karbi Anglong, and Nagaon districts of the state of Assam in northeastern India. It is situated along the southern banks of the Brahmaputra River.

2. Why is Kaziranga globally famous?

Kaziranga is a UNESCO World Heritage Site globally famous for conserving the great Indian One-Horned Rhinoceros. It is home to over 2,600 rhinoceroses, which represents about two-thirds of the world's total population.

3. Is Kaziranga open all year round?

No, Kaziranga National Park is closed to tourists from 1st May to 31st October every year. This is because the Brahmaputra River floods the low-lying grasslands during the monsoon season, making safaris dangerous and roads inaccessible.

4. What type of safaris are available in Kaziranga?

The park offers Jeep safaris (conducted in the morning and afternoon) and early morning Elephant safaris. Elephant safaris are highly popular as they allow you to travel off-track into the tall grass for close rhinoceros viewing.

There are four main tourism ranges: Central Range (Kohora) - famous for mixed landscapes, Western Range (Bagori) - famous for dense rhino sightings, Eastern Range (Agartoli) - famous for birding and tigers, and Burapahar Range - famous for primates and trekking.

6. Are tigers found in Kaziranga?

Yes, Kaziranga has a healthy population of Royal Bengal Tigers and was declared a Tiger Reserve in 2006. It features one of the highest densities of tigers among protected areas in India, though sightings require patience due to the tall elephant grass.

7. How can I book a safari permit for Kaziranga?

Safari permits can be booked online in advance via authorized wildlife operators or locally at the forest department booking counters in S Kohora. Booking early is strongly advised, especially for elephant safaris which have highly limited seats.

8. What ID proof is required?

Indian citizens must present a valid government-issued photo ID (Aadhaar, Voter ID, Driving License, or Passport). Foreign nationals must carry their original Passport and Visa. The document details must match your booking permit.

9. What should I wear on a Kaziranga safari?

Wear light and comfortable clothing in earthy or natural tones like khaki, forest green, brown, and beige. Carry sunglasses, a hat, and a dust mask. For early morning elephant safaris in winter (Nov-Jan), warm jackets and windcheaters are essential.

10. Can I see the Ganges River Dolphin here?

Yes. River boat cruises are conducted along the northern boundary of the park in the Brahmaputra River where the endangered Ganges River Dolphin can occasionally be seen surfacing.
