Ride atop a trained elephant through tall grasslands at first light — elephant-back safaris get remarkably close to grazing rhinos and are a Kaziranga signature experience.

Sohola Beel Birdwatching
A wetland within the Eastern Range that attracts huge numbers of waterbirds, including pelicans, storks, and migratory ducks — one of the park's richest spots for birders.
