On 19th May,2003 Rahul and his wife Bashobi visited us in Guwahati. We went to fetch them up from the airport around 1.30 pm. On the 20th May we drove down to Kaziranga around 175 km from Guwahati. We halted for the night at Kaziranga but before that we had a jungle safari in Kaziranga forests which is famous for its one horned rhinos. On the 21st May we had a morning safari at the forests sanctuaries. After lunch at Kaziranga we went to my in-laws in Tezpur. On the 22nd May we accompanied Rahul and family to Bhalukpung where his officer trainee friend of one of the training batches took over his tour to Arunachal. Some of these photographs would give an insight to the breathtaking natural sights of the northeast region of India.
Northeast is one of the most beautiful regions of India. Many people in India are ignorant of the beautiful sights, the hilly terrains of the region, its green valleys and blue hills are a spectacular sight. The region is abundant in vegetations. The landscapes are mostly covered by vegetations and forests. For people from the semi-arid regions this region is quite a change from the blistering heat and scorching dryness. People in Kashmir who perhaps do not travel to the rest of India are always in awe of their region. The usual saying is that if there is haven, it’s only here in Kashmir. The same mindset would change if somebody were to travel across the northeast. The northeast has multiple places which are abodes of natural beauty and heavenly sights.
I hail from Guwahati in Assam. It is one of the most beautiful places in India barring some of the man made disasters, which of course is causing a lot of hazards like erosions and flash floods. During July-August the river Brahamaputra can be seen at its full glory carrying the peak discharges of the river system and its tributaries. Since I did my college in Rajasthan I can see the full contrasts of the regions. When it is sweltering hot in other parts of India, its monsoon in the northeast, the weather God is less harsher on the northeast, the rain bring the much needed respite in the summer bringing down the mercury. When the other regions are reeling in the summer heat, this region cools down from the monsoon rain, though sporadically the mercury could shoot up to 36 degree centigrade but very rarely if the rains are not there.
