Green World Heritage
The winding Brahmaputra River is over the border of Kaziranga National Park in Assam. The influence of this current does not stop on the banks. The marshes in the park are filled with fresh river water, left behind after the Brahmaputra flooded. Boats are available for visitors between November and April. From the water nature lets itself explore piece by piece. And there is a chance to see the rare Ganges dolphin, which occurs in the Brahmaputra River.
Vast grassy plains and impenetrable jungle follow the soggy marshland. After the swamp deer and water buffaloes, gibbon monkeys, elephants and tigers now appear. Because not only because of the diverse landscape, this natural park is a Unesco World Heritage Site. Biodiversity is also impressive. Asian elephants and wild water buffalo instil awe with their size. Smaller jungle dwellers should have their number. More than 500 bird species make Kaziranga a bird lover's paradise. Yet it is ultimately the one-horned Indian rhino that steals the show. Nowhere in the world can you find a population of this size. More than a third of their number live in this park: in Kaziranga the endangered species roams carefree.
