Dear Ashok,
I hope you are well by the grace of God. I am writing to tell you about my amazing experience of visiting Kaziranga National Park, Assam.
Last month, I with my family went to Kaziranga National Park, Assam. We stayed there two days and two nights in a resort. On second day, we went for a jungle safari by car. We saw many one-horned rhinos. We also spotted deer, colourful birds and a group of elephants crossing the road. The forest was very quiet and green. I captured many photos of beautiful scenery. It was overall an amazing experience.
I wish you were there with me. No more today. Please convey my regard to your parents and love to you.
Your loving friend,
Subhas Guria
