Kaziranga National Park is a broad plain of tall grass, marsh, small lakes and forest on the bank of the Brahmaputra River in Assam. Indian rhinos graze in the grass alongside wild buffalo, elephants and deer, with birds everywhere. It was protected as a reserve forest in 1905, is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site and was declared a tiger reserve in 2006. It is home to the Indian rhinoceros, Asian elephant, wild water buffalo, swamp deer, tiger and fishing cat, and is an important bird area. The origin of its name is uncertain; a local legend tells of two lovers, Kazi and Rawnga, who vanished into the forest. You go on jeep safaris through the park's ranges in the morning or afternoon, and usually see rhinos close up. It is about 9 km in a straight line northwest of Kohora, its main gateway. The park is usually closed in the monsoon, June to October.
