A Day at Mawlynnong ~ Asia’s Cleanest Village

We were executing a tour for our visitor from Czech Republic and touring the State of Meghalaya after our visit to the Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary and Cherrapunji. Our jungle safari into Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary was done on Day 2 of our tour and on Day 3 we completed the Double Decker Living Root Bridge trek from Cherrapunji to Nongriat village and back. Our day at Mawlynnong was scheduled on Day 4 and Day 5 of our trip. We started our day early from Cherrapunji where we settled our bill with the pleasant manager of the Saimika Resort Mr. Atanu and after a cup of black tea Mr. Michael and the two of us who were showing him around started our car and we headed on our journey to the first destination of the day – the Longest Living Root Bridge at Pynursla.

The roads across Meghalaya are good and very scenic and we along with our visitor were enjoying the view along our way. After about an hour we halted to grab some breakfast on a small roadside shop. It was in the month of November and we could feel the cool breeze blowing across our face once we stopped. The small shop served us warm tea and some fresh roti and potato sabzi. Although the rotis were cooked just a few minutes ago, the chilly weather plays its part quite well and the rotis were already cold giving us a feel that it might have been cooked days ago. We were all quite hungry keeping in mind the flight of 3500 stairs we had climbed the previous day so we didn’t complain and finished our breakfast. After this we continued on our drive to reach the market area of Pynursla. It was here that we were supposed to meet our local guide from Mawlynnong Mr. Ricky who would take us to the Longest Living Root Bridge at Pynursla and then to Mawlynnong. We took a right from the main road and a small road took us to village where we stopped our car to start on our trek to the Longest Living Root Bridge. We were greeted there by another local guy and the four of us started on our trek.

Kaziranga National Park, Pynursla, Mawlynnong, Mawlynnong Homestay, Root Bridge Mawlynnong — **The Longest Living Root Bridge at Pynursla ~ Mawlynnong ~ Meghalaya ~ India**

This trek is not as challenging as the double decker root bridge trek but the only challenge is that there is no proper laid out path like the trek to Nongriat and we had to find our way to reach the longest living root bridge. There are no proper boundaries along the pathway and a small mistake could lead us to fall along the edges of the path. We did not mind the challenge as this was an exciting experience to view one of the most interesting living root bridge of Meghalaya. We continued on our path guided by the extremely quick local guides and we had to remind them that we are not men from the jungle and asked them to tread slowly. After about 45 minutes we reached the site of the Longest Root Bridge and all of us were thrilled with the sight of this amazing man made wonder. The Living Root Bridge of Pynursla is the longest and one of its kind in the World and a sheer delight to the eyes of any visitor. Just adjacent to it is another living root bridge. While my friend and I took a chance to walk along the second root bridge, Ricky and the other guide quickly climbed on to the longest root bridge and crossed it and returned back. After our pictures here we decided to trek back to the village and head on to our journey at the Cleanest Village in Asia – Mawlynnong.

It was already afternoon and we got hungry after our trek so just before reaching the road that takes a right to head to Mawlynnong we decided to have our lunch at a small, cozy and a neat place. We were served with chicken fried rice and two plates of chicken fry. After our meal we headed to Mawlynnong. It took us another hours time to reach Mawlynnong. On arrival we first decided to put out luggage at the Homestay here. After checking in we went around the village at first to sight the Holy Cathedral at Mawlynnong. This cathedral has an amazing architecture and it was built around 100 years ago. We took a stroll around the garden of the cathedral and got company from the local kids who were playing football on the nearby ground. After a while we went ahead to visit the balancing rocks at Mawlynnong. An amazing structure, these balancing rocks have held grounds for many years at Mawlynnong and is a structure where there is a huge stone resting on top of another small stone boulder. Our visitor was enthralled with the site of this structure. After this we continued to the Nohwet Village where we would take a walk along the Nohwet Sky View which is basically a bamboo made watchtower from where we can view the plains of Bangladesh and the green mountains of Meghalaya. It was later we decided to trek on a different route that would take us deeper into the virgin forests of Mawlynnong and we would arrive back to the village after crossing the Single Decker Living Root Bridge of Riwai. While Ricky and Michael embarked on this trek, my friend and I decided to drive back to Mawlynnong. We all got back together at Mawlynnong village and it was already evening. We decided to take a walk around the village and see the various shops that sell locally made handicrafts items. It is so peaceful and calm here in the evening when the army of tourists disappear after having their lunch at the local restaurants of Mawlynnong. We got to see solace on the calm and cold winter evening here.

We asked Ricky to arrange for a local traditional dinner at his Uncle’s home which was also the homestay where our guest was halting. At around 8 in the evening we were taken into their local kitchen where Ricky’s Aunt had prepared an ethnic Khasi tribal cuisine. We sat down on the floor of the kitchen to have our dinner and we were served with an absolute local delight! The meal had rice, dal, chicken, pork, tomato salad, local herbs and the stem of the banana tree cooked into a delicious curry. Must tell this was one of the tastiest food we all had in our hundreds of visits to Meghalaya. Our guest simple loved the simple yet exquisite traditional meal. We thanked them and continued to bed to begin our journey to Dawki the next day bidding goodbye to Asia’s Cleanest Village of Mawlynnong.

Note: Ricky is no longer with us and he passed away on August 2017. He was one of the most enthusiastic and lively person we met on our journey to the magical land of Meghalaya. This note is our tribute and our way of saying thank you for guiding many tourists across Meghalaya. Although he is no longer with us we pray for his departed soul and thank him for all the memories. RIP Ricky!

Alternate Itinerary for your visit to Mawlynnong ~

Day 1: Guwahati – Jowai

Arrive at the Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi airport at Guwahati in the morning and upon arrival you will be received by our representative offering you a warm welcome in traditional Assamese style. We board our Innova vehicles and from the airport we will head to the Nilachal Hills in Guwahati that is the site of the holy temple shrine of the Maa Kamakhya temple. Known to be among the 51 Shakti Peethas across the Indian Subcontinent, the Kamakhya temple shrine is the holiest temple shrine in Assam and North East India and everyday hundreds of devotees come here to seek Darshan of the Goddess. Known as the temple of the bleeding Goddess, it is believed that Goddess Sati’s womb fell at the Nilachal Hills and every year the Kamakhya temple celebrates a special festival called as the Ambubachi Mela for three days when it is believed that the Goddess menstruates and the doors of the temple are closed for devotees. On the fourth day the temple doors are opened for devotees and people from across the World and the Holy Sadhus from across the country throng the Kamakhya temple to offer their worship here. The temple shrine is revered mostly as it is known to be the place where various tantrics practiced tantric practices and w0orshipped the cult of Shakti.

The black magic powers of these tantrics had immense powers and involved rituals as brutal as human sacrifice along with animal sacrifice and though these acts have now been abolished (animal sacrifice continues to be practiced mostly goats) people still believe in the powers of the magic at the Kamakhya temple. At the Kamakhya temple we will be welcomed by a temple priest who will take us to the top of the hill where the main temple shrine is located and we begin our Darshan of the Kamakhya temple by at first cleaning our hands and feet at the temple pond here. We will be visiting on a VIP entry ticket and hence we will not take much time to enter the inner sanctum of the Kamakhya temple shrine. At the inner sanctum there will be a queue of devotees and we will await our turn to go down to the shrine where there is stone and an underground stream that feds water continuously to this stone and touching the holy waters along with the sprinkling of it on the head and taking the holy cloth that is dipped in the waters here. Our Darshan will get over and we hit the road again to drive towards Jowai – the district headquarters of the West Jaintia Hills in Meghalaya and home of the Jaintia people of Meghalaya.

We cross Assam at the Jorabat border and later drive towards Nongpoh where we break for lunch at the very attractive Excellencia dhaba that is a nice and hygienic place to have food at Nongpoh.

We reach Barapani area where we get to see the pristine Umiam lake of Meghalaya – the largest artificial water reservoir in North East India and we will not make a stop at this time but will do so on our drive from Shillong to Kaziranga National Park. We head straight from Barapani towards Umroi and further towards the West Jaintia hills. This road connects the Barrack Valley in Assam with Meghalaya and the road continues further towards Aizwal in Mizoram and Agartala in Tripura. We approach the West Jaintia hills and we are welcomed at a huge Gate entrance and we head towards the Nartiang Monoliths near Jowai. Monoliths are the sacred stones that the people of Meghalaya revere and often various worship rituals are conducted at these sacred monolith sites. The Nartiang Monoliths near Jowai are considered to be the tallest in the World and it was erected to commemorate the reign of the Jaintia Kings. These monoliths were erected in the period from 1500s to 1800s and the tallest one that is eight metres long is considered to be erected by a Jaintia General to commorate his victory in a battle.

We admire the wonderful structure of the Nartiang Monoliths and later head towards the Jowai local market where we get to see some of the very fresh organic foods that are available here. Like the Khasi people of Meghalaya, the Jaintia people too follow the system of matrilineal society where the head of the household is a lady and the family lineage is taken from the mother’s side. Hence you can see that most of the shops and business establishments at the market are run by the women folks from vegetable shops to meat shops. We get to witness the local delicacies of the Jaintia people here at the local market and later we head to our place of halt for the night at the Heaven’s Cove resort at Jowai. One of the very beautiful campuses to stay in Meghalaya the Heaven’s Cove Resort at Jowai is located along a stretch of paddy fields and a beautiful mountain range behind it and a clear water steam from the mountain flowing across the place.

Day 2: Jowai – Dawki – Mawlynnong

After breakfast we leave Jowai to travel to Dawki and on the way we will stop at the most favourite tourist attraction near Jowai – the Krang Shuri falls that is a crystal clear waterfall and visitors get the opportunity to bathe in the clean waters here. After an hour’s drive we reach the Krang Shuri falls at Jowai and we head down to the waters here to admire the beauty of the waterfall. After spending an hour at the Krang Shuri falls we head to Dawki – the border of India and Bangladesh and home to the crystal clear waters of the Umngot River. At first we head to the International border of India and Bangladesh and here we seek permission from the BSF soldiers to cross the Indian side of the border to reach the no man’s land at pillar 1275. We click our pictures at the border and later head on to the boating point at Dawki where we get go for an hour long boat ride on the clear waters of the Umngot river. The Umngot River had waters so clear that it appears as though the bao0ts are floating on the air and not just plying on the waters.

After our boat ride we head on our drive to Mawlynnong from Dawki. We will drive along the border of India and Bangladesh and along the way we will sight tow more beautiful waterfalls as well.

We will take time exploring the Cleanest Village in Asia and learn how the villagers have worked over the years to achieve this coveted title. There is an old cathedral present at the village and we take time admiring the grandeur of the construction of this cathedral that is over a 100 years old.

Later we travel to visit the balancing rocks at Mawlynnong village that is a very interesting phenomenon to sight where there is a huge boulder that rests on a much smaller rock and the big boulder seems to balance itself on the top of the small rock and this structure has been standing here since quite many years. The earlier Khasi people of Meghalaya considered this spot to be unique and sacred phenomenon and in the olden times they used to perform various rituals at this site of the balancing rocks as the people of Meghalaya have a unique association with rocks as you have seen at the Monoliths. They call the ‘rock’ as ‘Maw’ meaning stone and various places in Meghalaya have the word ‘Maw’ prefixed to it like Mawlynnong, Mawphlang, Mawsynram, Mawlai, etc. After admiring these unique balancing rocks we head back to the village where we see the visitors of the day have left to their places of stay at Cherrapunji or Shillong and some chose to stay back at the various homestays here in Mawlynnong. We get to witness how the village folks get together in the evening and start cleaning the premises of Mawlynnong village by collecting the waste and segregating them. We return to our homestay at Mawlynnong to relax and later we visit the restaurant and get to see the kitchen area and understand how our food is being prepared in a neat and clean environment.

A wonderful Bioengineering marvel greets us here and we get to see how a person’s imagination can help to build something so unique with nature. These Living Root Bridges are grown from the roots of the rubber trees and these young roots are trained to grow in a particular direction by using hollowed out areca nut tree trunks that allow the root to grow in a direction mostly over the perennial streams. As there are numerous small villages inside the forest pockets and numerous stream crossings to reach these villages, the Khasi and Jaintia people of Meghalaya came up with this unique idea of growing bridges instead of building them. Building bridges is also not feasible because these villages are in very remote locations and carrying the materials to such places would incur heavy costs and metal bridges won’t last long because of the intense rainfall that happen here and these would lead to quick rusting of these iron bridges. So the best option was to use tree roots to grow bridges that would instead grow stronger with more rains.

Once a root bridge is fully grown it lasts for almost 500 years and this is enough to survive several lifetimes and this proved as a wonderful idea and now in Meghalaya one can find several such Root Bridges including the famed Double Decker Living Root Bridge at Nongriat village and the Longest Living Root Bridge at Pynursla village. We walk across the Riwai Living Root Bridge and go down to the stream area that flows underneath this bridge. We hike further across the pristine forest cover to reach the Nohwet village and this too is a very clean and neat village and we head to visit the oldest Khasi hut at Nohwet village that has stayed here since many years and we get to witness this unique hut architecture and how it is built with mud and a thatch roof. Inside the hut one can view a typical village house environment like in the earlier days with everything in one room from the kitchen to the living room. We admire this very old hut and later walk to the Nohwet Sky Viewpoint that is a tall watch tower built with bamboo and it overlooks the plains of Bangladesh. This is a unique construction and the entire tower is built using bamboo speaking of how versatile the bamboo plant is and strong as well.

We wind up our visit at the Nohwet village after exploring the village for a while and later travel back on our drive to the Mawlynnong village. We will have a late lunch today and now we head to explore the cave at Mawlynnong that is an old cave structure discovered in the recent years and now it is open for expedition for the tourists. We will be accompanied by a local guide who will equip us with the necessary gear and we walk into the cave mouth and explore the cave. In case you are claustrophobic a visit to this cave in Mawlynnong is not advised and instead we will explore the caves at Cherrapunji tomorrow that are much wide in width and can be easily accessed and explored. After our caving expedition here at Mawlynnong we head for lunch and later in the evening we will be at leisure to unwind by the stream that flows alongside the Mawlynnong village.

Night Halt: Homestay at Mawlynnong

Day 4: Mawlynnong – Pynursla – Cherrapunji

Today we will start our day early after breakfast and we will drive to the Pynursla town where we take a left diversion to travel to a village that is home to the longest Living Root Bridge in the World spanning over 50m and is a less frequented tourist spot as not many tourists are aware of this place and do not come here. It is a hike down a steep stairway and it is not as gruelling as the trek to the Nongriat village from Tyrna and can be achieved with a little effort. A local person from the village will guide us to the site of the longest root bridge and we will witness the grandeur of the Pynursla Living Root Bridge that spans across 50m in length. Visitors are not allowed to walk on this bridge but you can view it from another root bridge that is parallel to it. We hike back to the village and continue on our drive to Cherrapunji admiring the pristine landscapes and valley views of Meghalaya here. We will take a shorter route and arrive at Cherrapunji by early noon and we break for lunch at the Orange Roots restaurant at the entrance of Cherrapunji that is a beautiful and hygienic place that serves vegetarian food and specializes in South Indian cuisine and the special thali meal as well.

After lunch we head to visit the sightseeing destinations at Cherrapunji and at first we head to visit the beauty of the tallest plunge waterfall in India – the Nohkalikai falls. The drive towards the hill top where the Nohkalikai falls is situated is one of the very pristine landscapes in Meghalaya and when it drizzles and it gets slightly fogy you get a feel of a drive across the highlands of Scotland. We reach the parking spot of the Nohkalikai falls and the sounds of the gushing waters are a treat to the eyes and the cloud cover hovering across the Nohkalikai falls with the occasional view of the majestic waterfalls gives a person a feel of heaven. We admire the locality of the Nohkalikai falls at Cherrapunji and explore the area across the place. Various locals setup shop here at the area near the Nohkalikai falls and they sell some uniquely sourced products from the forest area around Cherrapunji and one thing to look out for is the cinnamon sticks and the cinnamon from Cherrapunji is arguably the most aromatic ones you find across the World and the bark of this tree is considered to be a medicinal one as well. There is also some fresh grounded turmeric to be found along with the whole ones as well and the turmeric found in Meghalaya is also considered to be the best in the World based on its curcumin content.

Homemade pickles of chillies, Bhut Jolokia, chicken, small fish, carrots, etc. are to be found as well and even if you do not buy any of these things ensure to take the opportunity to savour some fresh cut pineapples that are sold by the vendors here and it is one of the sweetest and tastiest pineapples you will taste. The fruits and vegetables that grow here are so fresh because they grow in the natural environment and with the tropical climate of Meghalaya they receive the adequate rainfall and have whatever you eat here is rest assured to be fresh and organic. Next we head to visit the Mawsmai caves in Cherrapunji that is a prehistoric cave and for the ones who missed on the caving opportunity yesterday this will help you to get a chance to witness a caving experience. A well-lit cave, you can travel inside the Mawsmai cave without any gear and still admire the various fossils, stalagmites and stalactites here. We admire the natural wonder of the Mawsmai caves at Cherrapunji and visit our final sightseeing destination of the day at the Seven Sister Falls. Considered as the fourth tallest waterfall in India, the height of the waterfall stands at 332m about 8m short of the Nohkalikai Falls.

There are seven small waterfalls that fall down from the height of 332m and it looks absolutely beautiful and grand during the monsoon season. From the viewpoint here we get to witness the vast valleys of Meghalaya as well as the plains of Bangladesh and the view is absolutely stunning! With this we wind up our exploration of the day and head to our place of stay at Cherrapunji at the Sohra Plaza homestay. Located near the Orange Roots restaurant the Sohra Plaza Homestay is mostly a guest house with six rooms and it is an isolated property where you get the see beautiful valleys of Cherrapunji. They also have a full-fledged restaurant here that serves delicious Indian, Chinese and local Khasi cuisine as well.

With this we bid farewell to Cherrapunji and proceed on our drive to the capital of Meghalaya at Shillong – the Scotland of the East. On the way we will stop at the Mawkdok viewpoint that is a valley area and we get to witness the immense natural beauty of Meghalaya here. There is an option of Zip lining here as well but we will skip this in the interest of time. We drive towards Shillong and by early afternoon we stop at the Shillong Peak area in Upper Shillong. Known to be the highest point in the East Khasi hills of Meghalaya, the Shillong peak offers a panoramic view of Shillong city. This is an Air Force area as well so strict security protocols have to be followed before we start our exploration of the Shillong peak. There is a telescope here as well that gives viewers a close up view from the Shillong peak.

Next up we proceed to the Elephant falls in Upper Shillong that is a three layered waterfall and a grand one to view in Shillong. This three tiered waterfall with one on top and the two layers at the middle and bottom respectively. Named by the British as the Elephant falls after they discovered a rock here shaped in the form of an Elephant (that was however destroyed in the earthquake of 1897) it is a very pristine waterfall to view on the Shillong area and we admire the beauty of the Elephant falls.

Here we get to witness the unique betting game of Shillong Teer that is popular across Meghalaya where the participants bid on certain numbers of the day and the winning number is decided by the archers who shoot at a dashboard at the Polo Grounds and the number that receives the most number of arrow sticks is declared as the winner and the winner gets a big amount as the win money. We explore the Police Bazar and get to witness the various traditional shops here along with the emporiums of Handicrafts and Handlooms that have on display and purchase various traditional bamboo handicrafts and exquisite handlooms from across Meghalaya. Later we visit the Ward’s Lake in Shillong that is a prime tourist attraction in the city and hundreds of visitors come here every day.

Dug out by the prisoners of the Central Jail in Shillong during the times of the British Raj, the Ward’s lake has come a long way today and it serves as a prime tourist attraction in Shillong as visitors who come to the city take the opportunity to spend their time in calm boating on the waters of the Ward’s lake. The place surrounding is very beautiful with the cherry blossom trees all around and the entire stretch of the place is green as well. Along with boating facilities, the Ward’s lake has a walking track and a restaurant and coffee bar at its premises as well and once you are hungry after a walk across the lake you can cherish some nice snacks and a cup of coffee as well to rejuvenate.

A majority of the population of Meghalaya are Christians and the minority of the population also practice Hinduism and Islam and the Muslim community in Shillong came up with a unique idea to build a beautiful mosque to offer their prayers and they came up with the idea to build this mosque entirely with glass. In the evening the mosque building is illuminated in green lights and the entire mosque looks quite grand. We stop to admire the grandeur of this mosque and later travel to check into our guest house where we retire for the evening after a long day.

Day 6: Shillong – Kaziranga National Park

Today we leave Shillong to travel back to Assam at the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Kaziranga National Park famed for its population of the Indian One Horned Rhinoceros after we visit two more places of interest at Shillong – the Mary’s Help of Christians Cathedral and the Don Bosco Museum. We will leave the guest house after breakfast and we visit the Cathedral at Shillong that is a beautiful prayer place and the walls of the Cathedral are painted in a soulful light blue colour that fills your soul in peace. A huge green lawn is present here at the Cathedral and we explore the place for a while and later we head out of Shillong towards the Don Bosco Museum here. A very large campus building spread across seven floors, the Don Bosco Museum at Shillong illustrates the life, traditions and culture of the various indigenous people of North East India. Being home to over 200 tribes, North East India is a perfect place to explore the life and traditions of the indigenous people who had migrated to the region from various parts of Asia and South East Asia and they settles themselves here along the river banks to practice agriculture as their profession.

They spread out later across the region and they came to be called under various tribes and their sub-tribes. Though they have adopted ways of the aspects of the modern life many still preserve their ancient cultures and traditions and this are to be seen mostly across their traditional festivals that revolve around the harvest season and visitors get the unique opportunity to celebrate and dine with them. It is during this time of the year that they adorn themselves in their traditional attires and jewellery and they enact their traditional songs and dance and also prepare traditional food and rice beer. The Don Bosco Museum highlights the various facets of these indigenous people and there are models that depict these people with their face cuts and adorned in their traditional attires and jewellery here. At the ground floor when you walk in there are pictures of the various tribes hung along the walls and there is also a souvenir section here where you can buy a memoir of your visit to Shillong and Meghalaya and later start exploring the museum staring from each floor travelling to the top floor.

Each display room at the Don Bosco Museum has a section dedicated to a certain state and the indigenous people of that state and their way of living. There people rely on agriculture as their primary occupation and as they stay close to the river banks they have fertile soil and hence they grow various crops and for farming they use certain tools and these are put on display here. Weaving of handicrafts with bamboo and cane is also an important occupation along with handloom weaving and this can be witnessed here at the Don Bosco Museum. We spend about an hour’s time here at the museum and later head out to continue on our drive to Kaziranga National Park. We will break for tea at Nongpoh and continue on our drive to Jorabat and enter back to Assam and continue to drive towards Raha crossing Sonapur and Jagiroad.

We will stop for lunch at the Punjabi Dhaba at Raha that is a nice place that serves delicious Punjabi and Indian cuisine and we will savour our lunch here and later continue on our drive to Kaziranga National Park crossing Nagaon, Koliabor and Jakhlanbandha.

We gradually approach the forest reserves of Kaziranga National Park and the lush green tea gardens of Assam welcome us on one side and the paddy fields and the green mountains of Karbi Anglong on the other side of the road. We will be welcomed by various signage’s welcoming us to the UNESCO World Heritage site of Kaziranga National Park along with signage’s that remind us to keep a limit on our vehicle speed as this being an animal corridor could be seen. We will first arrive at the Burapahar range of Kaziranga National Park that is a popular range for an early morning Jeep Safari ride in the interiors of Kaziranga National Park but due to lack of good accommodation options here, visitors often do not prefer to stay here and instead opt to halt at the Kohora area of Kaziranga National Park that has renowned Hotels, Resorts, Homestays and Guest Houses along with the luxurious IORA – the Retreat, Borgos Resort, Diphlu River Lodge and the Assam Govt. operated tourist lodges as well. After crossing the Burapahar range we will come to a viewpoint area from where we can spot various rhinoceros, Asiatic water buffaloes, Hog deer and domesticated elephant’s along with various species of birds.

Today is our safari day at Kaziranga National Park and we undertake three safaris today along with a visit to the Kaziranga Orchid Park. Early in the morning we wake up to get ready for our Elephant Safari ride at the Bagori range (for Indian Nationals) and at Kohora range for Foreign Nationals. Elephant Safari rides at Kaziranga National park are conducted at two slots at 5 AM and 6.30 AM respectively. We will try to schedule our Elephant safari ride at 6.30 AM in case we do not find the 6.30 AM slot we will need to get up early and go for the 5 AM slot. We visit the respective range and go for an hour long elephant back ride sighting the various wildlife and avifauna of Kaziranga National Park and later come back to our place of stay for breakfast post which we will go for a jeep safari ride at the Kohora range of Kaziranga National Park. The jeep ride will last for about an hour and thirty minutes and we get to spot animals more closely.

The Jeep Safari covers more grounds inside the forest reserves of Kaziranga National Park as it takes you deeper into the forest reserves and your chances of sighting animals are more including the likes of the Asiatic Elephants, Royal Bengal tigers, Leopards, etc. We complete an hour and half long jeep ride and come back to the Kohora area and the jeep will drop us at the entrance of the Kaziranga Orchid Park – the Largest Orchid Park in India and we will take an hours’ time to explore the place. A beautiful park that illustrates the various indigenous orchid species of North East India on display and at the green house of the Kaziranga Orchid Park one can get to witness these various orchid species along with the local and scientific names. Guest groups are welcomes by local guides who take us across the area of the green house of the Kaziranga Orchid Park and explain to us about the various orchids here along with names and where these species are exactly found. We spend some time at the green house looking at the orchid species and we come out to witness the handicrafts and handloom section here that illustrates the rich crafts of the artists of Assam and the handlooms of the female weavers.

This section will provide us with the opportunity to witness handloom making in action as there are three traditional looms here that are built with wood and iron and the female weavers can be see sitting on these loom and weaving out the exquisite handmade fabrics. The local weavers of Assam are very adept at weaving and they do everything from scratch from collection the cotton to weave out the yarn, dyeing of the fabric and finally weaving out the final cloth. Assam is known for the silk varieties and the silk Mekhela Chadors of Assam follow as similar process with the beginning of the extraction of the silk from the silk worms. We admire the handloom products and later head to visit the rice museum that depicts the indigenous food of the people of North East India viz. rice. Rice can be called as an emotion of the people of North East India as no meal is complete without rice here. In the rural areas of Assam, the folks eat rice almost three meals a day for breakfast, lunch and dinner and that too in generous quantities. No wonder various rice varieties are grown here and we get to witness these varieties at the rice museum at the Kaziranga Orchid Park.

We walk across the park and finally take our seats to witness the cultural dance performances at the stage area of the Kaziranga Orchid Park. Dance performance of the Bihu dance and the bamboo dance of Assam are performed here and it is indeed a colourful display of these performances. We later visit the restaurant at the Kaziranga Orchid Park for a sumptuous lunch thali here that is one of the best across Assam and you get to witness a taste of the rich cuisine of Assam cooked with various local herbs and vegetables and a choice of meat or fish. The thali served at the restaurant of the Kaziranga Orchid Park is a humungous one and there are almost around twenty different offerings to eat from fried vegetables, mashed potatoes and brinjal, salad, dal, rice, curry, etc. After the sumptuous thali here at the Kaziranga Orchid park the jeeps arrive and we board the jeep to travel to the Eastern Range of Kaziranga National Park at Agoratoli to undertake another round of jeep safari experience here. The eastern range of Kaziranga National Park viz. the Agoratoli range is known to be the home of the Royal Bengal Tigers and various experiences of sighting these tigers in the wild have been recorded where visitors get the opportunity of sighting these tigers crossing the roads on their jeep safari ride. In addition this range is also a good place to sight the primate species of Kaziranga National Park viz. Assamese macaques, Capped langurs and the Hoolock Gibbons.

During the winter season, the Eastern range becomes a haven for bird watching as various migratory bird species travel to Assam from far off countries and you can get to witness them at the trees and the water bodies catching their meals. We take a nice jeep ride in the early afternoon at this beautiful range of Kaziranga National Park and later return back to our place of stay at Kaziranga National Park.
