He added, "I would urge you all to visit Kaziranga National Park and experience the unparalleled beauty of its landscapes and the warmth of the people of Assam. It's a place where every visit enriches the soul and connects you deeply with the heart of Assam."

The Prime Minister was accompanied by park director Sonali Ghosh and other senior forest officials.

Assam's Kaziranga is known for the rhinos but there are also a large number of elephants there, along with several other species.
