Located in the Golaghat and Nagaon district of Assam, this most notable wildlife sanctuary is being declared as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in the year 1985. The park resides at an edge of the Eastern Himalayan biodiversity hotspot and this could be the perfect reason to envision high degrees of diversified species with great visibility.  The park lies in the floodplains of Brahmaputra River and so every year the region is completely drenched with high water level; so do the wildlife gets affected by it too.

The land of Kaziranga which is rich in one-horned rhinos and elephants supports the growth and survival of a unique and diverse wildlife...
