Kaziranga in Assam is a UNESCO World Heritage Site where vast stretches of tall elephant grass, marshes, and swampy lagoons meet dense tropical forests. The mighty Brahmaputra River floods the park annually, replenishing its fertile alluvial plains. It is best known as the stronghold of the Indian One-horned Rhinoceros, though elephants, swamp deer, and wild water buffalo are equally prominent. The wetlands and grasslands attract migratory waterfowl, making Kaziranga a paradise for bird enthusiasts.

Kaziranga National Park is world-famous for its Great Indian One-Horned Rhinoceros, which occurs here in the largest numbers globally. Tigers, elephants, swamp deer, and wild water buffalo form the park’s "Big Five". Other mammals include leopards, sloth bears, capped langurs, hoolock gibbons, and smooth-coated otters. With more than 450 bird species, Kaziranga is a recognized Important Bird Area (IBA). Notable birds include greater adjutant storks, pelicans, bar-headed geese, Pallas’s fish eagle, swamp francolin, and hornbills. Reptiles such as pythons and king cobras thrive in its floodplain habitat
