Wild Grass Lodge
Situated
on the south bank of the Brahmaputra river, Kaziranga
National Park (Assam, India) is famous for the
stronghold of the armoured one-horned Indian
Rhinoceros.
Kaziranga
is home also to elephants, sloth bears, tigers,
leopard cats, jungle cats, hog badgers, capped
langurs, hoolock gibbons, pigs, jackals, porcupines,
pythons, wild buffaloes, Indian bison, swamp deer,
sambhars and hog deer. Besides these, the park has a
respectable avian population, which increases
considerably in the winter, when migrating birds visit
the park.
In 1974
it was designated a national park. Bounded by the
misty blue hills of Barail and Karbi Anglong to the
south, the national park was declared a UNESCO World
Heritage Site in 1985.
The Wild
Grass Lodge is a Jungle Lodge located outside
Kaziranga National Park in the state of Assam. It is
