This guide is here to simplify your planning and assist you in making the most of your Kaziranga journey.
How to Get to Kaziranga
Getting to Kaziranga is easy, and you can choose how you want to travel. I went with a community travel group through WanderOn, and they arranged a room for us right in the heart of the forest. It was like staying in a cozy corner surrounded by nature. It's not too hard! You can also take a train to Furkating or Guwahati and then hop on a bus or car to Kaziranga. It's like going on a road trip with your friends and family!
You can take a train if you like the sound of train tracks or go by bus, enjoying the scenery as it passes by. If you prefer, you can even take a car and go at your own pace.
For a pocket-friendly ride, non-AC buses from Guwahati to Kaziranga operate periodically. Head to Paltan Bazaar in Guwahati, where you can catch these buses. Keep in mind that availability may vary, so it's advisable to check with local operators.
For AC and private buses, booking through websites like RedBus is recommended for a convenient and secure experience. This ensures you have a confirmed seat and a hassle-free journey.
Duration of the Journey: The bus journey from Guwahati to Kaziranga takes around 8 hours. Enjoy the scenic route and make the most of your travel time.
Shoolin Woods: A Magical Retreat in the Heart of Kaziranga's Wilderness
I stayed at a new place called Shoolin Woods in Kaziranga, and it was almost dark when I got there. I didn't know it was hiding in the forest. The next morning at 5 am, everything changed. It wasn't dark anymore, and I heard lots of birds. I was surprised to see a beautiful place deep in the forest. Shoolin Woods, where I stayed, which seemed mysterious at night, turned into a calm and nice stay, like finding a hidden treasure in the trees. It was a surprise adventure that made every moment super cool.
Staying at Shoolin Woods in Kaziranga wasn't just about having a place to sleep; it was like finding a magical story. From the mystery of the night to the music of the morning birds, everything was like a fantastic adventure. Cheers to the surprises that make a stay really, really special!

I went on a safari at 8 am, and it was a nice day with the sun shining during the jeep ride. They said there are a lot of one-horned rhinos (70%), but I only saw one hiding behind the trees. I saw bits and pieces of it. The cool part was I got to see two elephants showing love to each other. It felt like I was capturing their private moment with my camera. Besides that, I saw many birds, deer, some monkeys, and some birds I didn't know. It was a fun ride, and I took more pictures at different spots. The driver was cool and patient, and we should thank him for letting us take lots of photos.
So, Kaziranga isn't just a park; it's a super cool playground where animals live. Wearing our dark colors, riding in a bumpy jeep, and meeting our wild neighbors made it the most awesome adventure ever. If you love animals
