Kaziranga National Park is one of the prides of India. Kaziranga is the place where the nature unwinds its pristine form in millions of hues, where wildlife roams fearlessly, where man and nature meets together. This prestigious national park of India is situated in the north eastern part of the country in the district of Golaghat and Nagoan in the state of Assam. Let’s go back to the beginnings of the twentieth century in the year of 1904 when this beautiful wildlife sanctuary was created, and about 68 years later it was declared as National Park.
It is noteworthy to mention that it is the host for two third of world’s
population of endangered Indian one-horned rhinoceros and also declared
as a tiger reserve in 2006, holding the highest density of tigers in
the world. The park is also a domicile for large breeding inhabitants of
Elephants, wild water buffaloes and Swamp Deer. It has been declared as
a forest reserve in the year of 1908 and wildlife sanctuary in the year
of 1950. Covering an approximate area of 430 square kilometers,
Kaziranga was declared as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO for its unique
natural environment in the year of 1985. Apart from this, the park has
been identified as an important bird area by Birdlife International
Society as it is a home to various species of migrating and inhabitant
birds. Situated on the banks of river Brahmaputra, the sanctuary is
blessed with the four different kinds of vegetation. The Tropical moist
mixed deciduous forests and tropical semi-evergreen forests is marked by
the 41% of the tall grasses, 29% open jungle, 11% short grasses and
rest is covered with the rivers and the water bodies. Its breathtaking
array of flora and diverse fauna adds value to the scenic beauty of the
park.
Kaziranga National Park is solitary among
the foremost National Parks on the earth and also famous as the
wonderful wildlife destination of the North East India. Situated in the
intense geographical location, the park presents a massive range of
natural beauty. Surrounded by Brahmaputra River on the North and the
Karbi Anglong mounts in the South, the park offers a splendid scenic
sight. The beautiful geographical vicinity of the park makes it heaven
for wildlife enthusiasts and nature lovers. The title Kaziranga adopts
its name to Karbi, which is the name of a woman who ruled here in
ancient time. It is the only ancient park in Assam which wraps a vast
region of numerous flora and fauna.
