Kaziranga National Park and Tiger Reserve in Assam will welcome tourists again starting October 1, following its annual closure during the monsoon season. The park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is closed every year in May to ensure the safety of both visitors and wildlife during the heavy rains.
For the initial phase of reopening, three ranges within the park will be accessible to tourists with jeep safari facilities. According to park officials, visitors can explore the central (Kohora), western (Bagori), and Burapahar ranges. Jeep safaris will operate in two shifts: from 7:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. in the morning and from 1:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. in the afternoon.
Sonali Ghosh, the Park Director, mentioned that the primary focus during the upcoming tourist season will be on enhancing the visitor experience and ensuring safety.
Kaziranga National Park is celebrated for its stunning landscapes, rich biodiversity, and iconic inhabitants, such as the endangered one-horned rhinoceros. It has become a popular destination for families, wildlife enthusiasts, and nature lovers from around the globe, offering a unique opportunity to witness rare species and diverse ecosystems.
As the park prepares to reopen, visitors can look forward to exploring its natural beauty and supporting ongoing conservation efforts. The reopening is expected to draw significant interest from both domestic and international tourists eager to experience the wilderness of one of India’s most renowned wildlife sanctuaries.
