Kaziranga: After remaining closed for over four months due to monsoon, the Kaziranga National Park will reopen for tourists from October 12.

Every year hundreds of domestic and foreign tourists come to the UNESCO declared world heritage site - the largest habitat for the endangered one-horned rhinos spread over 430 sq km. The park usually remains closed between May and September every year due to floods, which submerge large parts of the wildlife sanctuary forcing most animals to move to higher grounds outside the park for safety. So this year after the monsoon season, the park authority had decided to open the park on October 12 for the season 2018-19.
