Kaziranga Boating Point
Details : The Kaziranga Boating Point, located primarily at Silghat near the Koliabhumura Bridge, serves as an adventurous extension of the world-famous Kaziranga National Park. While the park is famous for its land-based safaris, this boating point offers a unique perspective from the water. It is one of the few places in India where you can take a boat safari on the Brahmaputra River to spot the endangered Gangetic River Dolphin. The boat ride takes you along the fringes of the Kaziranga floodplains, where the river ecosystem thrives in its most natural form. It is a thrilling experience to navigate the wide expanse of the river, with the distant hills of Karbi Anglong on one side and the dense forests of the national park on the other. The boating point is managed to ensure minimal disturbance to the aquatic life while providing tourists with an educational and exciting tour. Apart from dolphins, visitors can often spot various species of turtles, migratory birds, and occasionally, terrestrial animals like deer or buffaloes coming to the riverbank for water. The experience is particularly magical during the late afternoon when the golden sun reflects off the water's surface. It offers a sense of tranquility that is different from the rugged jeep safaris, allowing for a slower, more intimate observation of the river's biodiversity. For photography enthusiasts, the changing river patterns and the rare aquatic sightings provide endless opportunities to capture the essence of the Brahmaputra.
