Kaziranga National Park to reopen for 2024-25 season on October 1
After a long hiatus (monsoon break), Kaziranga National Park and Tiger Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is set to reopen to tourists for the 2024-25 season on October 1. As per reports, if the weather condition remains favourable, there will be no changes in the opening date. Keep in mind that the region is still recovering from the heavy monsoons that annually impact Assam.Kaziranga National Park and Tiger Reserve is one of the most beloved national parks in India. The park is known for its dense wildlife population, including the endangered one-horned rhinoceros and several endemic and rare species of birds.
Every year during the monsoon season, the park’s roads remain difficult to navigate. Only a very few routes remain accessible.
This year’s monsoon season has not been great for Kaziranga. As many as the lives of 215 animals within the national park have been lost during the monsoon floods. Of these lost lives, 13 were one-horned rhinos. Other park casualties include Hog Deer, Swamp Deer, Wild Pigs, and several smaller species.
Kaziranga has a long history of being affected by seasonal floods, and this year has been no exception. Every year hundreds of park’s animals perish during the monsoon floods.
Despite these setbacks, the park remains a haven for those seeking to experience India’s rich biodiversity. Tourists visiting Kaziranga during the 2024-25 season will still have the opportunity to see a wide range of wildlife up close, from majestic rhinos to rare bird species.
