Kaziranga National Park Overview
Kaziranga National Park was set aside as a game sanctuary in 1926 and became a national park in 1974. It's made up of 688 sq km (266 sq miles) of breathtaking land, containing rainforests, mighty rivers, sprawling grasslands and herds of wild elephant. It is best known for its thriving population of one-horned Indian rhino, which is the largest in the world. The rhino's natural enemy, the tiger, also lives in the park along with many other typical species of Indian wildlife.

The park has been included on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1985.
