Transportation to and through Kaziranga is heavily reliant on roadways. * **Roads/Highways:** National Highway 715 (formerly NH-37) is the primary artery, slicing directly through the Kaziranga landscape. It connects the area to major cities like Guwahati (approx. 200 km west) and Jorhat (approx. 90 km east). * **Airports:** The nearest airports are Jorhat Airport (Rowriah) and Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport in Guwahati, which handles the bulk of tourist traffic. * **Rail:** The nearest major railway stations are in Furkating (about 75 km away) and Guwahati. * **Local Transit:** Public and private buses operate frequently along the highway. For local movement and park exploration, open-top Maruti Gypsy jeeps are the standard mode of transit. Bicycles and auto-rickshaws are commonly used by locals for short distances.
