Quest for the One-Horned
Rhinoceros

Travel to the far reaches of
India for lush landscapes and amazing encounters with wildlife
in high definition. Tour the northeastern state of Assam, from
Manas National Park to the villages near
Guwahati, sail the great Brahmaputra
River, and visit Majuli Island and
Kaziranga National Park.

Along the way, search for the
India s rare one-horned rhinoceros, which nearly vanished from
existence just 100 years ago. How did it survive and why does it flourish here?
Join explorer Richard Bangs as he delves into Assam s rich culture of
conservation and examines what the rhinos story can teach us in India.


A Different India
For many Westerners, India is a
place of economic extremes and hectic city life. Assam is different. It is
sweeping farm land, wildlife ranges and villages. It s a place of deep, rich
culture and conservation work that s been remarkably successful. But there is
much to be done, including convincing poachers to become conservationists, and
Richard Bangs hopes to help.
