Kaziranga National Park – a
world heritage site and home of 65% of the world’s population of the great
One-horned Rhinoceros. Herds of Barasingha, Hog Deer and Wild Buffalo are seen
in the marshes. Rhino browse unconcernedly as visitors pass by and occasionally
a herd of elephants or wild boar is also sighted. One of the best places in
India to see Pied Harrier; and other raptors like Crested Serpent-eagle, Pallas
Fish-eagle and Grey-headed Fish-eagle can be seen circling overhead. The trek

the Hoolock Gibbon, and butterflies like Knight, oak blues, Fluffy Tit, Yellow
Flat, Suffused Snow Flat and many more.
