How to Reach
- Nearest airport
- Jorhat Airport (~97 km) or Guwahati International Airport (~217 km)
- Nearest railway station
- Furkating Railway Station (~75 km)
By Air
Jorhat is the closer airport with a handful of daily flights from Kolkata and Guwahati. Guwahati has far more frequent domestic and some international connections if Jorhat flights don't line up.
By Rail
Furkating is the nearest major railhead, on the line connecting Guwahati to Upper Assam; from there it is roughly a 2-hour drive to Kaziranga.
By Road
Kaziranga sits on NH37 between Guwahati (~217 km, ~5h) and Jorhat (~97 km, ~2.5h), so it is easy to combine with either city on a road itinerary.
