Got a weekend, or just a couple of days free? This short break gives you a real taste of Kaziranga National Park without taking leave for a week. You stay at a comfortable resort close to the forest, head out on a jeep safari with an experienced driver and guide, and still have time to slow down and enjoy the jungle around you.
Travel to and from Jorhat or Guwahati is on your own, but we’re happy to arrange a cab. If you’d like more time in the forest, we can add extra safaris or another night.
Places covered: Kaziranga National Park and its Central (Kohora) range.

Day by day itinerary
Day 1: Arrival and Jungle Safari
Arrival: Make your way to Kaziranga National Park from Jorhat (about 2 hours) or Guwahati (about 5 hours). We can arrange a cab on request. Check in at your resort near Kohora, the gateway to Kaziranga’s Central range.
Afternoon safari: Head out on a jeep safari into the Central range. Within minutes you’ll be among the tall elephant grass and wetlands where greater one horned rhinos graze, often a dozen or more in a single drive. Look for wild water buffalo, elephants, swamp deer and a huge variety of water birds. Safari timings change with the season and are set by the Forest Department.
Evening: Return to the resort and enjoy an Assamese dinner. Many stays are surrounded by tea gardens, perfect for an evening walk. Overnight stay at the resort.
Day 2: Morning in the Wild and Departure
Early morning: Add an early morning safari in the Western (Bagori) range for more rhinos and buffalo, or the Eastern range for birds (extra). Elephant rides, when run by the Forest Department, start very early and must be arranged in advance.
Breakfast: Return for a relaxed breakfast and take in the forest views one last time.
Departure: Check out and head home. Stop at a tea estate or the Kaziranga orchid park on your way out.
Safari timings, zones and the order of activities may change based on Forest Department rules and permit availability.
