Tourists Overcharged for Safaris at Kaziranga National Park

A tourist influx at Kaziranga National Park’s year-end jeep safari counters led to rampant overcharging. Tourists report paying two to three times the standard fare despite fixed rates set by the forest department.

Allegations target jeep operators and travel agencies for exploiting high demand during peak season. Concerns rise over the park’s reputation, with calls for stricter regulation to prevent further exploitation.
