Package Overview

The history of Kaziranga National Park (KNP) dates back to 1904 when Mary Victoria Leiter Curzon, wife of then Viceroy of India Lord Curzon came to Assam to visit KNP so that she can have a glimpse of the world famous one horned rhino. But unfortunately, she had to satisfy herself only with the pug mark of the rhino. Being totally disappointed, she urged her husband Lord Curzon to make the immediate measures to preserve this nice mammal. Lord Curzon who understood the need of the hour and on June 1, 1905 鈥淜aziranga Proposed Reserve Forest鈥� was created with an area of 232 sq kms. Over the years, the area got extended by 152 sq kms and in 1908 Kaziranga got the status of 鈥淩eserve Forest鈥�. In 1916, it was designated as 鈥淕ame Sanctuary鈥� and it continued to be so till 1938. 1950 was another landmark year for KNP when then forest conservator P.D. Stracey renamed it as 鈥淜aziranga Wildlife Sanctuary鈥�. In 1968, the state govt. had taken a vital step by passing 鈥淭he Assam National Park Act of 1968鈥� and declared Kaziranga as the designated National Park. On 11th February 1974, govt. of India had declared Kaziranga as the National Park with 432sq kms area.
