Assam National Parks, Sanctuaries and World Heritage Sites — Exam Notes

National parks are the highest-yield Assam GK cluster: almost every SLPRB and ADRE paper carries at least one question on Kaziranga, Manas or the rhino.

Focus on three things per park — what it is famous for, its district/location, and whether it holds a UNESCO or Ramsar tag.
