Kaziranga National Park in Assam has recorded a 127% increase in foreign tourist arrivals during the ongoing 2025–26 season, according to data shared by Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Tuesday.

The UNESCO World Heritage Site received 6,699 foreign visitors up to December 27 this season, compared to 2,947 foreign tourists in the 2022–23 season. The figures mark the highest-ever foreign tourist footfall recorded at the park.

In a post on X, Sarma attributed the rise in international visitors to conservation efforts, protection of biodiversity, and the promotion of tourism involving local communities.

Located in Assam, Kaziranga National Park is globally known for its population of one-horned rhinoceroses. The park is also home to elephants, wild water buffaloes, swamp deer, and tigers, and continues to attract wildlife enthusiasts from across the world.
