Kaziranga - Beyond the Safari!

A year ago, We had explored Kaziranga National Park with the usual safaris – elephants, jeeps - the whole kit and caboodle! But this year, something incredible happened. Thanks to the Assam Forest Department, We spent an entire week at Kaziranga, diving deeper than ever before. This wasn't just about spotting wildlife (although there was plenty of that!). We were involved in the microplanning process for Kaziranga National Park. Talk about a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
