| :: Topography in
Kaziranga National Park |
| |
| The land is
quite level all over the park, which is mainly covered by dense
and tall elephant grass due to its flood-plain ecosystem .A
few pockets of tropical semi-evergreen and deciduous forests
also occur within the Park area. The grasslands along with scattered
trees of Silk cotton (Bombax ceiba), Elephant Apple (Dillenia
indica) and Indian rosewood (Dalbergia sissoo) among others
give a typical savannah look akin to the sprawling wildernesses
of Africa and North AmericaThese picturesque swamplands have
an abundant cover of water lilies, water hyacinth and lotus.
The vegetation that breaks the monotony of these grasslands
and swamps are large clumps of semi-evergreen forest. The park,
although quite flat in nature, is set against a backdrop of
hills like the Mikir and Karbi Anglong. |
