Kaziranga National Park and Tiger Reserve has recorded a significant rise in tourist footfall during the 2025–26 season, with over 1.46 lakh visitors so far, including nearly 6,700 foreign tourists. Officials attributed the surge to sustained conservation efforts, improved connectivity and growing interest in nature-based tourism. The numbers, achieved within the first three months of the safari season, have already surpassed last year’s figures for the same period, raising hopes of a new record by season’s end.
