on our way from Kohima to Kaziranga, we stayed at Golaghat. the next day, while proceeding towards Kaziranga( actually an hour and half before arriving at Kaziranga forest reserve) we spotted this board outside a dilapidated building. we got off to find that the building was shut. A bit disappointed, we were about to turn back, when I spotted a rough road by the side. we started climbing the same and after about 15 minutes came to top of the Deoparbat and guess what- a most astonishing sight awaited us. tucked away, far above, were the remains of a ^th or 7th century Temple ruins, with the central dome covered by a zinc roof , (obviosly done by the ARCHEALOGY DEPARTMENT to preserve it). It had intricately carved figurines around the entire dome. possibly during an earthquake, it must have got destroyed. the place is so magical, we can weave a lot of stories around it in our minds. There was no one in sight and the peace and quiet gave it a spiritual energy, which seemed to engulf me. I spent an hour or roaming around the area. It is definitely worth a visit, from Kaziranga forest reserve , as a day trip, for sure.

If you want to see rhinos once in your life, your best bet is to go to Kaziranga. It's a long way to travel (2 hour flight from Delhi, 5 hour drive) but absolutely worth it. The park is next to the mighty Brahmaputra river, which can cause a fog in the early morning, and has 3 main entrances. If you stay for 2 days you'll see all 3 parts which aren't interconnected by roads. You'll see dozens of rhinos, especially in the western part. Furthermore we saw elephants, wild water buffaloes (mostly east part), barasingha (aka swamp deer), hornbills, owls, pelicans, eagles, indian rollers and many other birds, turtles, hog deer and many other species. There are tigers in the park, but you have to be lucky to see one because of the high elephant grass. Leopards are even rarer.

We were travelling from Kohima to Golaghat when we spotted this hidden gem in the middle of nowhere. lush green forests with a natural hot water spring and an old hanging bridge, left us captivated. while swimming in the spring was forbidden, we could dip our feet in the soothing hot water and feel refreshed. a must visit. Long hiking trails are available as well as children's play area.

I had taken special permission to trek inside the forest along the fire-lines. It was a very thrilling and rugged experience. I saw varities of snakes, lemurs and birds.
