Kaziranga National Park is situated on the south bank of the Brahmaputra river in Assam, India. It is famous as a refuge for the Indian or one-horned rhinoceros (Rhinoceros unicornis). Stretching over an area of 430 km², Kaziranga is one of the last refuges of the Indian rhino. The national park is a vast stretch of coarse, tall elephant grass, marshland and dense tropical moist broadleaf forests. The Park celebrates its centenary in 2005.
Kaziranga is home also to elephants, sloth bears, tigers, leopards, jungle cats, hog badgers, capped langurs, hoolock gibbons, wild boars, jackals, porcupines, pythons, water buffaloes, Indian bison, swamp deer, sambar deers and hog deer. Besides these, the park has a respectable avian population, which increases considerably in the winter, when migrating birds visit the park.-

Kaziranga National Park covers an area of 430 sq km, and consists of dense elephant grass, shallow swamps and evergreen forest. The region is renowned for sightings of the Indian one-horned rhinoceros, since the park contains 60% of world's population of these magnificent creatures. Elephant and jeeps safaris also enable one to view large herds of wild elephant, buffalo, barasingha, and deer, together with birds of prey including the Crested Serpent Eagle, Pallas's Fish Eagle, Grey-headed Fish Eagle, and the Pied Harrier. The wetlands also support large numbers of water birds including white pelicans, open-billed storks and black-necked storks.
