Kaziranga National Park and Tiger Reserve in Assam is scheduled to be opened for the tourists season 2020-21 from 11 AM 21st October 2020. A notification was issued on Monday from the Office of Divisional Forest Officer, Eastern Assam Wildlife Division, Bokakhat.
The notification stated that only Jeep Safari at Kaziranga Range, Kohora and Western Range, Bagori would be open for Tourists. This decision was taken due to inclement weather and road condition inside the National Park. The safari in Kohora will be opened up to Vaishamari and up-to Bimoli Tiniali in Bagori until further orders.
The date for opening of Eastern Range, Agoratoli, Buraphara Range, Ghorakati and the Elephant ride in Kaziranga National Park will be notified in due course of time. “Any inconvenience caused due to limited access inside the Park is regretted”, stated the Notification.
Reopening partially is not a new activity in Kaziranga. Very often, only parts of National Park are opened for limited activities on the time of opening. The rest are gradually opened up for tourists.
Recently a documentary on the success story of the preservation of one-horned Rhinos featuring former cricketer Kevin Pietersen was premiered on National Geographic. Read about it here.
