The estate comprises 28 rooms across several heritage-inspired spaces, including Bonani Bungalow with 10 heritage rooms, Bonoshree with 8 rooms designed as a cultural salon, 6 Kohora River View cottages overlooking the floodplains.

Kaziranga Heritagea 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.

Situated within the floodplains shaped by the Brahmaputra River and the Kohora River, the property has been designed to integrate with the surrounding 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.

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 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.

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.

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.

With its combination of heritage architecture, regional cuisine and curated cultural experiences, the project aims to support sustainable tourism development in the Kaziranga region.
