The best way to spot wildlife in Kaziranga is BELOW: Tourists


on an elephant-back, though jeep safaris are embark on elephant
also available. As the gentle creatures tread safaris for rhino
through the tall grass, ones senses become spotting
keenly aware of the quiet and vastness of the
horizon fringed with blue mountains.

Kaziranga is also a haven for bird lovers,


with nearly 5,000 birds spo!ed at lakes inside
the park, the commonest being crane and
flamingo.
