Because recently the park was a refuge for refugees, the local infrastructure was almost completely destroyed. Sightseeing from January to March.
Kaziranga National Park (Kaziran-ga National Park; Sour) It is the only place, where very few specimens of the Indian unicorns live, almost completely exterminated by Chinese hunters, who consider his horn, blood and urine for magical medical means. To prevent poaching, it was planned to transport the surviving animals to the park in Dudhwa in Uttar Pradesh, unfortunately, this plan has not yet been implemented, which means, that this species will probably soon disappear from the face of the earth.
Most of the park is covered with grass, the height of which reaches even 6 m, and the marshes called jhil. At first glance, the rhinoceros that live here seem huge and clunky. Nothing unusual, since they have almost 2 m in height, and their weight exceeds 2 tony. Nevertheless, they are extremely agile and fast. Unfortunately, they cannot always be seen in tall and lush grass. The whereabouts of these animals are indicated by herons and other birds circling over them, which sit on the backs of rhinoceros, and a characteristic rustle, which accompanies an animal tearing through grasses. The best vantage points are the hideouts around the wetlands, in which rhinoceros like to wade. Visiting from February to March.
Sariska and Rantham Bhura National Parks (Sariska & Ranthambhore National Parks; Rajasthan) These areas are covered with vegetation typical of the Indian lowlands. The park in Sariska is famous for the herds of Nilgau antelopes inhabiting it, which is best seen at night. However, in recent times, the reserve has experienced tourist invasions, seeming to be forgotten, what is the (or rather it should be) the true purpose of their trip. Illegal excavations of mineral deposits carried out here also contribute to the gradual destruction of this beautiful corner of India.
Park w Ranthambhurze, also known as Sawaj Madhopur, is smaller, thanks to which tourists have a greater chance of encountering animals that inhabit it. The lakes with crocodiles swimming in them are an additional attraction. However, here as well, crowds of tuists come every year, mainly interested in seeing tigers up close, which are more and more difficult to encounter. Journalists from BBC World magazine (I/II 93) discovered, that poachers managed to bribe the officials managing the park, who allowed them to hunt. In this way, most of the tigers inhabiting this area were exterminated. The reserve is located on the railway line from Delhi to Mumbai (Bombay); you can also go there by car from Jaipur (Jaipur), from which it is distant 160 km south. Visiting from February to June (Sariska) and from November to May (Ranthambore).
