What to Expect

Expect early mornings (5:30 AM safaris), dusty jeep rides, and the thrill of spotting a rhino within the first 10 minutes. The park is not a zoo — animals are wild, and sightings depend on luck. Central Range (Kohora) is the most popular and crowded; Western Range (Bagori) has the highest rhino density; Eastern Range (Agoratoli) is quieter and great for birding. Elephant safaris are more expensive but offer closer views. The landscape is stunning: tall grasslands, swamps, and the Brahmaputra River on the northern border. Weather is humid and hot for most of the year, with cool winters (Nov-Feb). Accommodation ranges from basic guesthouses to luxury resorts like Iora Retreat. Food is mostly Assamese and North Indian; try the fish tenga and bamboo shoot dishes.
