Entertainment, excursions and attractions of Assam
Kaziranga (Kaziranga) is a national park in the state of Assam, founded in 1908. Here there are more than half of the world population of Indian armor rhinoceros, as well as elephants, wild buffaloes, gaurs, tigers, bears and deer. It is believed that the Kaziranga National Park is one of the last areas of eastern India, where ecosystems remain untouched by human activities.
Wetlands are vital for the survival of the rapidly disappearing bristly hare and dwarf pig. Also in the reserve you can see a rhino, wild buffalo, elephant, gaur (Indian bison), marsh deer, Indian and smoky leopards. Another attraction of the park is a rare large rhinoceros bird.
The valley of the falling birds or the Jatting Valley attracts attention by a unique phenomenon.
At this time, at night, the birds do fall to the ground for reasons that are still unclear. The valley itself is a hollow, two to ten kilometers in size, surrounded by wooded slopes, in the middle of which stands a small village. Photos of Assam (14)
