My day began with an early breakfast at N.R. Resort. It was a hearty meal that set the tone for the day ahead. The resort was lovely, and the staff were incredibly welcoming, offering insights into the best spots to visit in the park. I even overheard some local travelers praising the resort, which affirmed my choice of starting my day there. Leaving the resort, I set off towards the Eastern Range of Kaziranga National Park.
The drive to the Eastern Range was an experience in itself. The landscape transformed into a mesmerizing mix of grasslands and woodlands. The weather in Kaziranga in December is pleasantly cool, with daytime highs around 24°C and lows around 12°C. The clear skies made it perfect for photography, a hobby I've grown to cherish since moving to Germany. The anticipation of spotting wildlife filled me with excitement as I approached the gate. I was eager to see the famed one-horned rhinoceros and perhaps even catch a glimpse of a tiger.
As I entered the Eastern Range, I was immediately struck by its serene beauty. The area is known for its diverse landscape, encompassing grasslands and a large lake, all surrounded by hilly terrain. It felt different from the other ranges, offering a more intimate connection with nature. I opted for a jeep safari to explore deeper into the range, hoping to maximize my chances of spotting wildlife.
The safari was nothing short of exhilarating. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable, pointing out various flora and fauna along the way. We spotted herds of elephants grazing peacefully, their massive forms moving gracefully through the tall grass. Deer frolicked in the distance, their elegant leaps adding to the picturesque scene. And then, there it was – a one-horned rhinoceros, standing majestically in a clearing. It was an awe-inspiring moment, witnessing this magnificent creature in its natural habitat. The Eastern Range truly lived up to its reputation as a haven for wildlife.

The beauty of Kaziranga lies not just in its iconic rhinos, but in the symphony of life that thrives within its diverse ecosystems.

After the safari, I made my way to the Kaziranga National Park View Point Watch Tower. The tower offered a panoramic vista of the park, stretching as far as the eye could see. Climbing the tower, I felt a sense of anticipation, wondering what sights awaited me at the top. From the summit, the landscape unfolded in all its glory – the vast grasslands, the meandering rivers, and the distant hills. It was a breathtaking view, providing a sense of the scale and diversity of Kaziranga. I spent a considerable amount of time there, simply soaking in the beauty and tranquility of the surroundings.
