In fact, two thirds of the world's population of these majestic animals lives within the boundaries of the Kaziranga National Park. Due to the problem of poaching, the management of the park has increased its conservation efforts, turning the area into what is now considered a rhino sanctuary. The park is home to around 1800 of these giants.
In addition to the multitude of rhinos that roam freely within the reserve, the park also has the highest density of tigers in the whole world. Other animals that inhabit this region include elephants, deer and water buffalo as well as turtles, lizards and snakes. There is also a plethora of different birds that fill the skies over head. The park is easily reachable by car or rail and can be explored in depth on a jeep safari.
