The park is a World Heritage Site and a wildlife conservation area of global importance, home to elephants, water buffalo, the endangered swamp deer, tigers, and two-thirds of the world population of Indian one-horned rhinoceroses.

Kate was appropriately dressed for the trip, sporting brown skinny jeans, a white cotton shirt and her trusty Sebago boat flats.
