Guwahati: President of India, Ram Nath Kovind on Sunday took an elephant safari in Kaziranga National Park on the last day of his three-day visit to Assam.
Kovind and his daughter Shweta together rode an elephant, admiring the wilderness and spotting the animals in their natural habitat.
A state government official said that Kovind, accompanied by several Assam ministers, undertook the ride from Mihimukh point in Kohora range of the national park. His wife, who was present at Mihimukh, however, did not take the elephant safari.
