The UNESCO World Heritage Site of Kaziranga National Park, famed as a home to two-thirds of the world's population of the rare one-horned rhinoceros, is an enthralling destination. The four-lane NH-37, bordered with verdant trees connects Kaziranga directly to Guwahati. The drive is refreshing, comfortable and depending on traffic, hassle-free. Kaziranga offers two safari timings - 7 am to 10 am and 1 pm to 4 pm. Plan in such a way that you catch the afternoon safari on the same day or the morning safari the next day, with enough time for satisfying stops on the way.
