Khonsa at its best
Where and Why Its a tiny township in a valley which is surrounded by Himalayas; something you realize the moment one arrives here. Away from the shopping malls and pools, it takes out all the hidden artistry in you. Here you will get to see all the those things which you would have thiught of suitable to a hill station - The lush greenery, the beauty of the wild and the mountanic scenery. Also there are those beautiful exotic orchids one would run for. Its a whole new experience. The Circuit House, is supposed to be the best place out here to settle down. If you book a room here, you will find the staff dressed in white colors with their beautiful hats welcoming . And what better could have been than a cup of hot Assamese tea as welcome drink. Soon after the breakfast head to see the town. Small little people involved in their chores - getting water from deep streams and cooking food on the firewood could be seen all the way to Khonsa Museum. Although not very attractive from the outside, it has inside charms of a whole set of an era gone by the way of display of artifacts and colorful hand looms. After taking a round of the Museum head for the Kheti and Lajo Village, inhabited by Nocte and Wanchoo Tribes. Here you will find a picture of the life of days gone by. Simple people contented with their old ways of living like getting water from the streams down below and cooking food over firewood can be seen here. Although they didn't know much of English or Hindi, you can take a number of photographs with them. Head for Namdapha National Park(131 km). Have your lunch at the The Forest Lodge in the National Park and then set afoot for a face to face with the wild animals. Keep your cameras ready to take photographs of the Hornbill, Hoolock Gibbon, Clouded leopard, Snow Leopard, Bengal Florican and the wood duck. As the sun was setting by we went back past the Nodehing River which flows at one side of the Park. (Take a short break by sitting by the side of the river enjoying the music of the flowing water).
