Kaziranga - Kohora Bagori and Agarotoli

Image
29th, 30th November and 1st December Those of you who have not been to Kaziranga have no clue as to what you are missing. Over the last three days, I have done six rides into the forest.  Stayed in a cottage at Wildgrass, a very laid back hotel which has been there for ages.    There was a guest already resident in the bathroom, whom I decided not to disturb. It was peaceful coexistence. Have had many types of such little guys in the vaiety of places I have stayed - frogs, spiders, gekkos, and other such, whom I was careful not to step on. Part of going into the wilder areas, and staying in the not so star places. There are three main ranges - the central range at Kohora. The Eastern Range at Agarotoli, and the Western range, at Bagori. Each range has it's unique landscape - a mix of tall Elephant Grass, sprawling grasslands around water bodies, and, the densely wooded areas. Animal types frequent the range that best suits their food base, and, security. Kohora is 10 minu...

Vrindavan, Jhalawar and Ujjain

  7th March 2025 Drove out of Haridwar was simple. On NH334 to Delhi within 5 minutes, though maps tried to confuse me. Ignored it. Guys here are mad. Be careful of tractors. Traffic was not bad at all. Choked a bit around Meerut. Tried to fish out the number of a college mate in Palwal when I saw the name come up. Couldn't get it. Then came the expressway. First the Eastern with a speed limit of 100 kmph. Then the Delhi Mumbai expressway with a limit of 120 kmph. Life was simple. Cruise worked beautifully. Got to Vrindavan by 1030. Checked into Hotel Krishna Orchid. Good room. Great food. Tomorrow is my guided tour. 08th March 2025 Got a call late last evening from my contact for the day. Wanted to know what time I would be good to start. Stupid question to me. Said 0600. He said 0630. At 0550 got a call from the taxi driver saying he was on his way. He came on time. Left hotel. Got another call. From one more driver. Same travel company. This guys wanted to come at 0730. Anyways,...

North East November 2025 - Kaziranga

Image
  19th November 2025  Departed Manas by 0600. Forgot to pick up the breakfast pack I had asked for. More because there was no one visible when I walked the 100 meters from room to car. No traffic for the first part of the drive. Reached Guwahati comfortably in a couple of hours. Hunger had started calling. Unlike the south where you can get idlis as early as 0600, most places here were still asleep at 0830. Saw a board for a pure vegetarian place called N1e. No clue what it meant. But, the toilets were clean. Food was decent. Tool a bit to maneuver  my car out as a biker had parked at my nose. Buggers can buy fancy kits, but do not have basic parking courtesy. Drove very easy. No hurry. Near Nagaon, passed a RTO vehicle with a speed gun. Called my daughter who was about an hour behind me. Was positive they would be trying to catch up. Got to my daughter's place in Kaziranga by 1230. They came in half an hour later. Went and had an Assamese Thali, with mutton curry. Fantas...
