Project Title:   
Enhancing our heritage: Managing and Monitoring for Success in World Natural Heritage Sites.

Project Objectives
1) Review of Protection Strategies and suggestion to enhance their effectiveness. 
2) Development of a Comprehensive Capacity Building Plan for Frontline Staff.

The administrative head quarter of KNP is at Bokakhat (Golaghat district), which is located at a distance of 238 km from Guwahati (State capital).  All the existing range head quarters (Burapahar, Baguri, Kohora and Agoratoli) in the park can be reached by road from the National Highway (NH) 37, which runs south of the Park boundary. (See map 1). Karbi Anglong hills adjoin the park on the south and constitute an ecological extension of the park. 


The Park is of rough oval shape, approximately 50 km long and 16 km wide at its broadest point. It lies on the south bank of the river Brahmaputra and its southern boundary follows for the most part the river Mora Diphlu that runs parallel to National Highway NH 37 (the main arterial highway in Assam). Two other rivers, Diphlu and Bhengrai flow through it and a number of small streams originating in the Karbi Anglong hills drain into these rivers and the beels (water bodies) in the park.
