Kaziranga National Park is one of the most desired wildlife destinations in India. The national park has a unique diversity in relation to the fauna and flora. Apart from Rhinoceros and Tiger, the park is also known for its large bird population which attracts a good number of Bird watchers here. The scenic beauty of the park is magnificent. One of the main reasons is the presence of the great Brahmaputra River on the northern fringe of the forest. 

Kaziranga due to its geographical location receives heavy to very heavy rainfall which helps the grassland and marshland grow and provide good foliage for the wildlife. But this is also the reason the park gets flooded often as the mighty Brahmaputra flows through the park. During heavy flooding, the death of wildlife is also not uncommon. Due to the nature of the forest and the weather here, the Kaziranga remains closed for visitors for about half of the year, starting from May till about the beginning of November.
