Day 1Arrive Guwahati – Kaziranga National Park
220 km / 5 hrs
Welcome to the North East. Your driver meets you at Guwahati airport or railway station and you drive east to Kaziranga National Park, home of the one-horned rhino, stopping at the Maha Mrityunjay Temple at Nagaon, built in the shape of a Shiva linga. Check in, and the evening is yours.
No meals included today Overnight: Kaziranga
Day 2Kaziranga National Park
Kaziranga is home to about two-thirds of the world's one-horned rhinos. At first light, ride an elephant into one zone of the park for the best chance of seeing rhino up close, along with hog deer, swamp deer, wild buffalo, wild elephants and, with luck, a tiger. The wetlands are full of pelicans, storks and darters. Back at the resort for breakfast, then a jeep safari through the park in the afternoon, and a visit to the Kaziranga Orchid Park.
- Note: Elephant rides and jeep safaris are run by the Assam Forest Department and depend on availability; we can't control the bookings.

After an early breakfast, a full day at Cherrapunjee (4,400 ft), one of the wettest places on earth.
