After breakfast, drive full day east. The park consists of 430 Sq. kilometer of low-laying grassland sprinkled with shallow lakes and woodlands. Our lodge here is comperatively luxurious and excursions are by jeep and elephant! Kaziranga famous for its 1000 strong population of one-horned rhinoceros and wild water buffalo, but the reserve rivals Bharatpur for wetland birds and supports localized and endangered grassland species such as swamp partridges and bengal florican. Kaziranga is divided into three ranges each with its own character and highlights. The popular central range supports higher densities of rhino, elephant and water buffalo, but it is the eastern range which offers some of the most exciting and varied wildlife-watching in Kaziranga. At Sohola wheel we should see greater adjutant stork, pallas and grey headed fishing eagle and a great variety of other waterfowl. Otters are frequently seen on a nearby river and the woodlands harbour woodpeckers, fairy bluebirds, flocks of spot-winged stares, warblers and much more. It is in this less visited region of the park that we have the best chance of perhaps finishing our trip on a high note with views of tiger or sun bear.
