Kaziranga in March
Assam, India
Go in March — wildlife sightings peak before summer heat intensifies, temperatures remain manageable at 14–28°C, but book jeep safaris well ahead as demand peaks.
Peak crowds
March is one of Kaziranga's busiest months. The score rates conditions — weather, access, value — not how many people you'll share them with. Park closed Jun-Oct. Nov opening weekend is extremely crowded. Feb-Mar best balance of weather and sightings.
March maintains good sighting conditions though grass is regrowing. Warmer weather makes safaris comfortable.
The March story
March is the last great month — grass still manageable, weather warming. Eastern Range (Agoratoli) opens water bird sightings. Book early morning safaris.
Why March scores 8.0/10
