Parc national de Kaziranga (काज़ीरंगा राष्ट्रीय उद्यान)

Le parc national de Kaziranga (en anglais Kaziranga National Park, en assamais কাজিৰঙা ৰাষ্ট্ৰীয় উদ্যান, [Kazirônga Rastriyô Uddan], prononcé /kaziɹɔŋga ɹastɹijɔ udːan/) est un parc national situé dans les districts de Golaghat et Nagaon de l'État d'Assam en Inde sur le bord est de l'Himalaya. Ce parc a été classé réserve naturelle en 1908 et est devenu un parc national en 1974. Depuis 1985 il est inscrit sur la liste du patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO. Les deux tiers de la population de rhinocéros indiens (Rhinoceros unicornis) y vivent, soit 2 000 sur les 3 000 existants ; et on y trouve la plus grande densité de tigres au monde, d'où son classement parmi les Tiger reserves en 2006. Le parc abrite également d'importantes populations reproductrices d'éléphants d'Asie (environ 1 300), de buffles d'eau (environ 1 800) et de barasinghas (environ 800). Kaziranga est en outre classé Zone importante pour la conservation des oiseaux (ou ZICO) par l'association BirdLife International.
Kaziranga est une vaste étendue de hautes roselières, de prairies d'herbe à éléphants, de marécages et d'une forêt tropicale semi-sempervirente irriguée par quatre grandes rivières, dont le Brahmapoutre et ses nombreux bras morts. Kaziranga a été le thème de plusieurs livres, de documentaires et de chansons. Le parc a fêté son centenaire en 2005, après son classement en Reserved forest en 1905.
Ce parc a obtenu des succès plus notables dans la conservation de la faune que la plupart des autres aires protégées en Inde.

  • All those who have thought Indian one-horned rhinoceros only existed in Jurassic-era, then a trip to Kaziranga is a must for them. One of the most sought after wildlife holiday destinations in India, Kaziranga National park’s 430 square kilometer area sprinkled with elephant-grass meadows, swampy lagoons, and dense forests is home to more than 2200 Indian one-horned rhinoceros, approximately 2/3rd of their total world population. Formed in 1908 on the recommendation of Mary Curzon, the park is located in the edge of the Eastern Himalayan biodiversity hotspots – Golaghat and Nagaon district. In the year 1985, the park was declared as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. It is said when Mary Curzon, the wife of the Viceroy of India – Lord Curzon of Kedleston, visited the park to see Indian one-horned rhinoceros; she wasn’t able to found even one. Then she persuaded her husband to take urgent measures to protect the dwindling species which he did by initiating planning for their protection. After a series of meetings and documentations, the Kaziranga Proposed Reserve Forest was created with an area of 232 km2 (90 sq mi) in 1905.

  • It is one of the best National parks in the country. Located in beautiful state of Assam this is the must visit tourist destination when travelling to North East. We went there in the month of Feb which is very apt time to visit this national park. It makes you fall more in love with the nature. There is an elephant safari early in the morning which one should definitely go for. There is an option for morning or afternoon Jeep safari. If you go for elephant safari then afternoon jeep safari would be best. This place offers you mesmerising flora and fauna.

  • We were here in the month of April when the weather was just right. It was neither too hot not too cold. We were fortunate enough to see quite a lot of wildlife during our trip there. It's better to book both the morning and the afternoon trips of you are an avid wildlife lover. There are chances that you will miss out quote a bit of its just one safari that you plan to take. The place is very scenic and pretty well left on its own for nature to take care of.
