There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

KAZIRANGA Vs ROYAL CHITWAN
The problem of Kaziranga is that it's located too far from the major touristic routes. Majority of foreign tourists want to combine wildlife viewing with visits of architectural cultural heritage, beaches or mountain hiking. In Assam I cant find anything interesting. Few tourists will travel many ours in crowded buses only to see Kaziranga unless they are really big rhino-lovers. That's very sad because Kaziranga is the jewel of all Indian nature, the "Serengeti of Asia". Probably local authorities in order to boost tourism have to build an airport next to the national park and to subsidize air flights from New Delhi and Mumbai.
Royal Chitwan national park is in much better position. Its advantage to Kaziranga is that is located close to Mount Everest, the highest peak in the planet. In the Western world there are tens of millions passionate alpinists, mountain climbers and their dream is one day to climb Everest, respectively to visit Nepal. Once they have visited Nepal they say: "Oh, why not to see tiger or rhino in the jungles" and they combine alpinism with safari tour in Chitwan or Bardia. Nepal has the potential one day to become a world touristic mega-power same as Greece or Thailand. Nepalese capital Katmandu is also a heritage budist city with a lot of historical buildings. So if I decide to go for Greater One Horned Rhino probably will prefer Nepal to Assam.
Sorry bro, I quess you are Bengali but I don't think that anybody from abroad will fly thousands kilometers to see Jaldapara, its completely diferent level tnan Kaziranga and Royal Chitwan.
Somethimes I wonder is it possible to see from the territories of Kaziranga or Chitwan the snow ranges of Himalaya mointains in the horizon or they are too far from the parks. Probably it would be wonderful when you are tourist and reside in some safari lodge or hotel deep in jungles when you awake and drink your morning tea to observe in the far horizon the eternal snows and glaciers of the mighty Himalayas.
