Kaziranga

Considered the Serengeti of India, Kaziranga is a land of swamps and marshes, grasslands and forests. It supports two-thirds of the world's great one-horned rhinoceroses and the highest density of tigers in all of India. It is a land of herbivores, with huge herds of elephants and deer intermixed with rhinos and water buffalo.

 

It is a last great wilderness, thriving along the flood plains of the mighty Brahmaputra. Yearly floods send all inhabitants into the highlands while the land is submerged and refreshed for the following years foraging. It is a place like few others, where one can truly be where the wild things roam.
