Kaziranga calling!

New Indian Express  

In the tranquil dawn of an Assamese morning, we set forth on a journey through the verdant landscapes of Kaziranga National Park, hoping to glimpse the majestic big cats and giant horn-bearing herbivores that roam its wilds. Not just PM Modi’s day-two visit and overnight stay, but also the golden jubilee celebration of Kaziranga National Park’s declaration as a national park in February 1974. Near the Kohora and Bagori zones of Kaziranga National Park, tourists can find the best places to stay and check out; and resorts and hotels that offer curated experiences, including government-run lodges, private accommodations and camps. The celebrity-approved Diphlu River Lodge is a standout choice, boasting bungalows with local hut-style architecture overlooking the river and jungle just 3 km from the elephant ride point of Kaziranga National Park. As we embarked on our jeep safari through Bagori in the Western Range of the safari area, the next morning, our chaperone made us aware of the story of how when Mary Curzon, the wife of the Viceroy of India — Lord Curzon of Kedleston, visited the park and unfortunately couldn’t even come across one rhino.
