Orang National Park is a compact yet ecologically rich national park located on the northern bank of the Brahmaputra River in Assam, India. Spread across the Darrang and Sonitpur districts, it is often called the “Mini Kaziranga” due to its similar landscape and wildlife diversity, especially the presence of the one-horned rhinoceros.
