The privately run Wild Grass Tourist Resort (seven kilometres east of Kohora) is by far the best place to stay. Lying at the foot of the Karbi hills on the river Diring, it is set inside a green campus. The two three-storey structures have 20 rooms which are clean with simple but aesthetic décor, meals are excellent and the staff helpful. A swimming pool is located on the premises. Interesting excursions with qualified and informed naturalists are the forte of the hotel. For reservations, contact:

Tall dense grasslands, typical of the floodplains of the Brahmaputra, carpet almost half the park area and are interspersed with open forests. The streams and numerous small bheels that form when the floods recede constitute an interconnected riverine habitat.

The hills have always offered refuge to the animals from floods, but in recent years human settlements have prevented such escape. Visitors who choose to explore all three of Kaziranga's distinctive habitats in the Western, Central and Eastern Ranges can sample the flavour of this world-famous rhino refuge in a matter of two days. To really savour the wilderness, of course, you would be advised to stay longer.

Watchtowers constructed at different vantage points in the park allow for viewing animals at waterholes for extended spells when one can watch the animals with binoculars from a distance without disturbing them.

The Central (Kohora) Range: Mihi, Kathpora, Dafflong, Borbeel, Bhaisamari are some of the particularly rich bheels here. Rich in birdlife, these wetlands are among the most productive habitats around which to birdwatch.

Eastern (Agartoli) range: Drive along a small stream with a variety of semi-evergreen trees forming closed canopies along its banks, and you could see elephants swimming across in herds. Rotting logs are favourite spots for turtle to sunbathe. This is perhaps the most magnificent part of Kaziranga. Roads from this particularly rich area lead to tall grass habitats and the sandy banks of the Brahmaputra. Mihimukh is also a particularly good wildlife area.

Western (Bagori) range: This range has a patch of semi evergreen forest near Baguri, Bimali and Haldibari and Dunga, Bimoli, Borbeel, Dafflong and Ramori.
