What is the difference between Kohora and Bagori ranges?
Kohora (Central Range) offers a balanced landscape of wetlands, woodland, and grasslands, ideal for viewing elephants, rhinos, and tigers. Bagori (Western Range) has shorter vegetation and heavy water bodies, offering the highest probability of spotting rhinos grazing within a few meters of the safari track.
Why is Kaziranga closed during the summer monsoon?
Kaziranga is situated directly on the low-lying floodplains of the mighty Brahmaputra River. Between June and October, torrential monsoon rains cause the river to overflow, submerging up to 80% of the park under floodwaters, forcing animals to migrate south to the Karbi Anglong hills.
