COTTAGE HRISHIKESH KAZIRANGA :

Greetings from Hrishikesh Travels and Cottage Hrishikesh ...for homely comfort !! Location Middle Assam in North East India ( NAGAON AND GOLAGHAT DIST.) Latitude:- 26°30 N to 26°45 N Longitude:- 93°08 E to 93°36 E Climate:- Sub-Tropical Monsoon with average rainfall of 1320 mm and temperature ranging from 8° C in Winter to 38° C in Summer Kaziranga is a title of a remarkable success story of conservation of the One Horned India Rhinoceros and other wild lives in the North East India. It is not only the homeland of the Great Indian One Horned Rhinoceros, but also provides shelter to a variety of wild lives.

Located on the banks of the mighty Brahmaputra River in the far North East of India, Assam, Kaziranga National Park covers an area of approximately 430-sq-kms with its swamps and tall thickets of elephant grass making it the ideal habitat for the Indian One-Horned Rhino. Due to limitless poaching of this prehistoric survivor, the Kaziranga National Park was declared a wildlife sanctuary in 1940. Best Time to Visit Kaziranga National Park Kaziranga's visiting season is from mid-November to early April months. During the monsoons, the Brahmaputra River bursts its banks, flooding the low-lying grasslands and causing animals to migrate from one area to another within the Kaziranga National Park. A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step; we found immense pleasure to introduce our newly built COTTAGE HRISHIKESH at Bogorijuri, Kaziranga National Park, which is perfect for your honeymoon, travel or weekend getaways from the rat race!

Our Vision: Our primary vision is to promote eco-friendly and responsible tourism in North Eastern Region as well as maximize the employment opportunity for the local community. It is also dedicated to the conservation of natural and cultural resources of this region.

One can visit it by hiring a taxi from Golaghat town or by public buses plying on the Golaghat Dimapur route.

Deopahar Ruins, Numaligarh : Is that ruins are always so much more appealing than restorations ? Deopahar is an example. Scattered on the hill top are ruins of an ancient temple with statues lying shattered and greenery sprouting from the heads of others. The climb to the top of the hill is exhausting, especially on a hot day, but the view from the top spanning across Numaligarh Tea Estate and nearby Karbi Anglong hills and forests is simply divine. Deoparbat is situated just by the side of road, about only 5 Kms. from Numaligarh Tinali on NH 37, from where the N.H. 39 leading to Dimapur starts. Uncle Robin's Children Museum : The museum is located on the main road in Golaghat town and within the residence of Dr Robin Banerjee, a naturalist of International repute. The museum is full of dolls, artifacts, mementos, movies and other personal collections of Dr Banerjee's lifetime. Dolls : There are 587 dolls and 262 other show pieces. They have mostly been presented by admirers and children during his many trips to abroad and within the country as well. Paintings/Photographs : There are 194 Paintings and 19 Award winning Photographs. All the paintings were done by Dr. Robin Banerjee and all the photographs taken by himself in very adverse conditions related to wildlife. Artifacts : There are 93 pieces artifacts. For instance, (a) Naga Warrior's head hunting basket, (b) Dalai Lama from Patala palace, Tibet made up of Fish Bones and (c) One small beautiful Horse made up of Turquoise and was gifted from China.
