Only 40km from Guwahati, this small national park has the highest concentration of rhinoceros in the world. Entrance fees are the same as Kaziranga National Park (see p 561 ).

From there it s a one-hour peachland campground trip atop an elephant lumbering through boggy grassland and stirring up petulant rhinos.
