The park is home to the world's largest population of the one-horned rhinoceros, an endangered species. Afternoon game viewing on elephant-back searching for rhinos, deer, bears, and the elusive Royal Bengal tiger.

Day 2: Morning game viewing excursion on elephants, and an afternoon river trip in local dug-out canoes looking for crocodiles and the many bird species along the river banks.
