Bagori, also known as the Western Range, is one of the main safari areas of Kaziranga National Park. The safari entry point is at Bagori, and the range is particularly known for its open grassland and wetland habitats. Jeep Safaris operate in the Western Range, and Elephant Safaris are also available in this area, subject to the current operating schedule and availability.
The landscape around Bagori includes tall elephant grass, open grasslands, wetlands and woodland areas, creating suitable habitat for several of Kaziranga's characteristic wildlife species. Visitors may encounter the greater one-horned rhinoceros, Asian elephant, wild water buffalo, deer and a variety of birds during a safari. Wildlife sightings depend on natural animal movement, weather, season and the safari route, so no particular sighting can be guaranteed.
Bagori is often considered a good option for travellers interested in experiencing Kaziranga's open grassland landscape and large herbivores, particularly rhinoceros. However, we recommend choosing the safari zone based on your available timing and overall itinerary rather than assuming that one zone will always produce better wildlife sightings than another.
For travellers staying around Kohora or Kaziranga's main tourism area, Bagori can also be considered as a second safari option if they want to experience a different range from the Central Range. Visiting different ranges can provide a broader experience of Kaziranga's varied habitats.
