I have served in Asaam and possibly those were my golden days in wilderness. Pobitara had the highest density of one horned rhinoceros way back in 1988-89, as there were 64 of them in just 16sqkm of reserved forests. Now there are ore than 100 but the area of the sanctuary has also been increased to more than 40sqkm. Kaziranga is still the best place to see rhinos flourishing. Assam is possibly the most successful state in India where a dwindling species was conserved with passion, hence, there has been a serious revival of one horned rhinoceros.
I have decided to expand my passion for wildlife tourism and have started promoting home stays in quite a few wildlife reserves. The idea is to link Corbett & The Ranger’s Lodge with Pobitara, kaziranga, Nameri, Manas, Chaprashilla, Hoolock Gibbons, etc.
