Lying along the mighty Brahmaputra River, the Kaziranga National Park
covers an area of about 430 sq. km. Its swamps and grasslands with tall
thickets of elephant grass and patches of evergreen forest, support the
largest number of rhino in the subcontinent. It was an alarming depletion
in their numbers, due to hunting and poaching that led to the conservation
of this area in 1926. In 1940, Kaziranga was declared a sanctuary. Though
poaching still constitutes a major threat to the rhino population, the
numbers of this species are fairly healthy. At Kaziranga, the open country
makes wildlife viewing fairly easy. A day's outing is often sufficient
for visitors to see most of the major species here.
