Assam Wildlife Tour: Manas, Kaziranga and Pobitora

Your trip begins in Guwahati as you drive west toward the Himalayan foothills bordering Bhutan. The scenic route winds past quiet villages, tea gardens, and river valleys. By afternoon, arrive at your forest lodge set among sal trees at Manas National Park. Spend the evening relaxing in the quiet surroundings, with the option of a short nature walk or fireside storytelling under the stars. You spend the night in Manas National Park.

Set out at first light on a jeep safari across the grasslands, dense forests, and riverine belts of Manas National Park. Watch for rare wildlife including the golden langur, pygmy hog, and wild water buffalo, as well as rhinos, elephants, and peacocks. After lunch, you may opt for an afternoon safari or relax at the lodge listening to the forest. Overnight stay in Manas National Park.

Depart Manas after breakfast and drive east across the Brahmaputra plains. The route takes you past broad tea estates and river crossings. Arrive by late afternoon at your lodge near Kaziranga National Park, where expansive grasslands and floodplains unfold. Spend the evening at your own pace, with the option to visit a nearby orchid park or take a quiet sunset walk. Overnight stay in Kaziranga National Park.

Begin early with a morning jeep safari into the central or western range of Kaziranga National Park. Look out for the famous one-horned rhinoceros grazing in elephant grass, alongside wild elephants, swamp deer, bar-headed geese, and pelicans. In the afternoon, choose between an additional safari or visiting a nearby tribal village to observe regional craftwork and daily life. You spend the night in Kaziranga National Park.

After breakfast, depart Kaziranga and travel toward Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary, situated just outside Guwahati. Pobitora is celebrated for having one of the world's highest densities of one-horned rhinoceroses. After checking into your eco-stay, embark on an afternoon jeep safari or elephant ride to observe rhinos, wild boars, and migratory wetland birds close up. Overnight stay in Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary.

Start your final morning with breakfast and an optional nature walk through the Pobitora buffer zone as the mist lifts across the wetlands. Watch for grazing rhinos and resident water birds one last time. Afterwards, take the road transfer back to Guwahati, where your wildlife journey concludes.
