Kaziranga beyond National Park

Kaziranga is far more than its world-famous national park. It is a remarkable landscape that extends across the lush forests of the Karbi Anglong Hills, tea gardens, rivers, wetlands, villages, and vibrant indigenous cultures. Together, they create one of India's most diverse and beautiful travel destinations.

While the national park welcomes visitors from October to April, the surrounding landscape comes alive throughout the year. From April to October, the monsoon transforms Kaziranga into a lush green paradise, with blooming wildflowers, flowing rivers, misty hills, village life, and countless opportunities to experience nature beyond wildlife safaris.

Kaziranga beyond National Park is a sustainability initiative of the Aaghun Foundation that promotes year-round tourism, encourages longer and slower stays and showcases the wider Kaziranga–Karbi Anglong landscape. An integral part of this initiative is WTRP: Walk-Trek-Run-Pedal, which invites travellers to explore through walking, trekking, running and cycling. With local communities involved in guiding, hosting and shaping these experiences, WTRP connects exploration with local livelihoods and care for nature. By dispersing tourism beyond the park, we aim to reduce pressure on the protected area while creating meaningful opportunities for communities and supporting responsible, sustainable travel.
