Apart from many varieties of big cats like tiger and leopard, Kaziranga National Park also has a large population of elephants, buffaloes and deer in the wild. It is also the home of thousands of migratory birds of various types in the winter season. Matched with all the facilities like safaris and accommodations, Kaziranga is one of the best destination for visitors.
