Elephant safari and jeep safari in the park were closed in May due to the monsoon
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudeva of Isha Foundation formally opened the Kaziranga National Park (KNP) for tourists for the forthcoming season on Saturday.
Elephant safari and jeep safari in the park were closed in May due to the monsoon.
Sadhguru and the Chief Minister, accompanied by Tourism Minister Jayanta Malla Baruah, also undertook a jeep safari at the park.
Sadhguru drove the vehicle with Mr. Sarma sitting beside him.
"Your Chief Minister is safe with me in the vehicle. It is a matter of great joy to open the park for tourists," he told reporters.
The Chief Minister and Sadhguru also unveiled three statues of rhinoceros in the Mihimukh area of the park. These statues have been created using the ashes from burning seized rhino horns on September 22, 2021.
The state had created history when a stockpile of 2,479 rhino horns was consigned to flames to send a strong message to poachers.
