One of the major attraction of Assam is Kaziranga Wildlife Sanctuary.It covers an approx .430 sq.km.area. and is located on the banks of Bhramaputra,partly in Nagaon distt. and partly in Golaghat distt.It is open for the visitors from Nov. to April.It is inhabitated by the world's largest population of ONE HORN RHINO,many other mammals including tigers,elephants,,bisons,wildboar,swamp deer .Visitors come here for Bird watching too.People from all over the world visit here and this sanctuary is gaining its popularity ever.
Last Christmas holidays we made a trip to Kaziranga.It is 217 km away from Guwahati.We travelled by car and opted for this beautiful resort to stay overnite.We retired early to bed after enjoying a magnificient evening with good food,great Jhumoor Dance (performed by tea garden folks)and camp fire.We had to get up early in the morning to catch up the Elephant back ride.

Kavita, please tell us what time of the year were you in Kaziranga? I have thoroughly enjoyed the archival posts of your blog esp the cuisine, culture and the weaving ...pulled out my gamosa that i h ad bought a decode ago in Mumbai and am using it ...yes, its is the best and softest cotton ever!
@CHITRA....Dear Chitra,welcome to my page,i am glad that you liked it.thanks a lot.It was Dec 2008 i.e.winter time but was not very cold as it used to be few years back,we had to remove our jackets and sweaters after the ride.But for the first batch it must have been very cold and foggy,we always choose the second shift ride when the weather is clearer.
Gamosas are truly very soft as pure cotton is used...its a big time hit with my folks at Delhi..once again i thank you for giving your valuable time to me.
