Earlier this year, the Kaziranga National Park and Tiger Reserve was shut early for tourists due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
It is to be mentioned that the UNESCO World Heritage site is home to the greater one-horn rhinoceros. Kaziranga is also home to the highest density of tigers among protected areas in the world. The park is home to large breeding populations of elephants, wild water buffalo, and swamp deer.
