Kaziranga Tiger Reserve

Kaziranga Tiger Reserve (KTR) is located in the Brahmaputra River's flood plain, on the Karbi-Anglong district's foothills, and spread across the districts of Golaghat, Nagaon, and Sonitpur. The reserve's terrain is, by and large, flat, with a gentle slope from east to west. The habitat comprises alluvial deposits from the Brahmaputra River system. The river Diffalu, a tributary of the Brahmaputra, flows through the National Park area (core/critical tiger habitat), while another tributary Moradifalu flows along its southern boundary. Biogeographically, Kaziranga belongs to the North East Brahmaputra Valley Province. The floristic composition of Kaziranga comprises the following forest types and biomes (Champion & Seth, 1968): Eastern Wet alluvial grasslands, Assam Alluvial Plains Semi-evergreen forests, Tropical moist mixed deciduous forests, Wetlands, and Sandy “chaurs.”
