Kaziranga Heritage opens near Kaziranga landscape to boost heritage tourism in Assam

Inaugurated by Himanta Biswa Sarma, the heritage hospitality project is developed as a PPP between ATDC and Centre Point Hospitality Group.

Kaziranga Heritage, a heritage hospitality destination located near the Kaziranga landscape in Assam, was formally inaugurated by Himanta Biswa Sarma, Chief Minister of Assam, in the presence of government officials and industry representatives.

Developed as a Public–Private Partnership (PPP) between the Assam Tourism Development Corporation (ATDC) and Centre Point Hospitality Group, the project aims to strengthen heritage tourism infrastructure while highlighting the ecological and cultural legacy of Kaziranga.

A property rooted in history and landscape

The estate is anchored by Bonani Bungalow, the historic core of the property, with guest records dating back to 1938, making it one of the earliest documented hospitality structures associated with tourism in Kaziranga.

Accommodation across heritage-inspired spaces

The estate comprises 28 rooms across several heritage-inspired spaces, including Bonani Bungalow with ten heritage rooms, Bonoshree with eight rooms designed as a cultural salon, six Kohora River View cottages overlooking the floodplains, and four Kunjobon Presidential Suites and duplex units with private plunge pools and landscaped courtyards.

Architecture inspired by traditional Assam-type design

Architecture across the estate follows the traditional Assam-type style, featuring raised plinths, deep verandahs and sloping roofs suited to the region’s climate and seasonal flooding.

Culinary experience rooted in regional cuisine

The property also includes a 48-seat destination restaurant focusing on Assamese cuisine prepared using wood-fired cooking techniques. The design of the restaurant draws inspiration from the traditional Assamese Jaapi, with ceramic detailing created by Assamese ceramic artist Jaya Boro.

Art, culture and conservation in the guest experience

Kaziranga Heritage integrates art and history into the guest experience, featuring works by Assamese artist Mridu Moshum Bora and archival wildlife photographs associated with conservationist Edward Pritchard Gee. The property also pays tribute to cultural icons Bhupen Hazarika and Zubeen Garg.
