Declared a sanctuary after 14 years of being under wildlife
conservation, anyone on an Indian Wildlife Tour should never
miss the swamps and grasslands on Kaziranga, which supports
the largest number of Rhino population in the Indian subcontinent.
The type of Rhinos showcased on Wildlife Tours
in India is single-horned, which differentiates it
from the two-horned African Rhinos.
Indian Rhinos also
have knobbly skin and falls into deep folds at the
joints. These make it look like its wearing a coat
of armor.
Rhino viewing on Wildlife Tour India usually falls

Wildlife Tourism at Kaziranga boasts of an open country
atmosphere that makes room for an easy viewing of the
wildlife.
