Kaziranga Jeep Safari in Winter: A Guide From Guwahati

Planning a Kaziranga jeep safari in winter from Guwahati? Start with your preferred gate and session, then choose a stay that makes meeting time realistic. The park’s 2026–27 jeep safari season opened on October 3, according to The Sentinel’s coverage of the forest department notice. Confirm current gate access and available sessions for your exact dates.

Kohora or Bagori for your first safari?

Kohora is the Central Range and Bagori is the Western Range. If you’re booking one drive, compare pickup time, available seats and the transfer from your hotel. If you’re booking two, choose different ranges when both are available. The routes give you different views of the park, and sightings depend on the day.

Morning or afternoon jeep safari?

A morning drive leaves time for a second outing or lunch later in the day. Pack an extra layer and allow for reduced visibility if there’s fog. An afternoon drive can be easier for families who prefer a slower start. Schedule a separate transfer day if you’re coming from Guwahati, so a road delay doesn’t cost you the safari slot.

A practical three-day trip from Guwahati

1. Day 1: Drive to Kaziranga, check in and confirm the next day’s gate, reporting time and pickup.
2. Day 2: Take your confirmed safari. If you have a second session, leave time between drives for lunch and the transfer between ranges.
3. Day 3: Return to Guwahati. Add a buffer if you’re connecting to a flight or train.

What to ask before paying for a safari

Ask for the range and session in writing. Check what the quote includes, which IDs are required, where you’ll meet the vehicle, and what happens if park authorities change access. For a longer trip, compare the Assam and Meghalaya itinerary or contact Yatra Advisors with your dates and preferred safari range.
