For the 2025–26 tourism season, the park’s Bagori Range was opened to visitors on September 26. However, the administration faced challenges as some roads within the park were not fully ready for jeep safaris.

To address this, Kaziranga National Park authorities have adopted a phased approach, gradually opening individual ranges to ensure a seamless experience for visitors.
