Solitary Exploration of Kaziranga's Wonders

Finding Peace Amidst the Wilds of Kaziranga

Today was a day of quiet exploration and appreciation for the subtle wonders of Kaziranga. It wasn't about the big, dramatic wildlife sightings, but rather about soaking in the atmosphere, enjoying the scenery, and finding a sense of peace in this unique corner of India. It’s funny how sometimes the most memorable days are the ones where you least expect it.

My day began with a hearty breakfast at Tesco Resort, Kaziranga. The Tesco Resort was conveniently located and the food was good, and I was able to enjoy a complimentary breakfast.

After breakfast, I set out to explore the Kaziranga National Park View Point Watch Tower. The morning air was crisp and cool, a welcome change from the humidity I'm used to in Heidelberg. The drive to the viewpoint was scenic, with glimpses of the park's vast grasslands. The Kaziranga National Park View Point Watch Tower offered panoramic views of the park. From my vantage point, I could see the sprawling landscape, a mosaic of tall grasses, interspersed with water bodies, and distant hills fading into the horizon. I spent a good hour there, simply observing the park from above, spotting various birds and enjoying the tranquility. The winter sun cast a golden glow over the landscape, making it a truly magical sight. The watchtower provided amazing viewpoint to spot animals and the fabulous five.

Sometimes, the greatest adventures are found not in grand spectacles, but in the quiet moments of observation and reflection.

Next on my list was FairyLand - Camps Cafe & Nature in Kaziranga. I decided to stop here for a cup of tea and a break. FairyLand was an idyllic campground that offers a unique blend of comfort and adventure. The cafe had a charming, rustic vibe, and I enjoyed a steaming cup of Assam tea while surrounded by lush greenery. I took a leisurely stroll around the campsite, admiring the eco-friendly accommodations and the serene atmosphere. It was the perfect spot to unwind and recharge before continuing my exploration.

For lunch, I stopped at Dipok Hotel. It was a simple, no-frills place, but the food was delicious and authentic. I ordered a traditional Assamese thali, which was a feast of flavors and textures. The meal was satisfying and gave me a taste of the local cuisine.

After lunch, I decided to visit the AVACreations Products Experience Centre, Kaziranga, hoping to find some unique souvenirs. It was a small shop showcasing local handicrafts and products. I was impressed by the quality and craftsmanship of the items on display. I ended up buying a beautiful handwoven scarf made from Eri silk, a specialty of Assam. It was a perfect reminder of my trip and a way to support local artisans.

Tomorrow, I'm planning to visit 4 Brothers Elephant Safari Point and the Kaziranga National Park entrance for an early morning elephant safari. I'm also hoping to visit Hollong Eco Camp. I’m excited to see the park from a different perspective and hopefully spot some more wildlife. I might also check out Baankahi bar in the evening.

Kaziranga has a different kind of magic. It's not just about ticking off wildlife sightings, but about immersing yourself in the natural beauty and finding a sense of connection with the environment. It’s a reminder that sometimes, the most rewarding travel experiences are the ones that allow you to slow down, observe, and appreciate the simple things in life. And as a woman from Koumpentoum, Senegal, now living in Germany, these moments of quiet reflection are a welcome reminder of the beauty and diversity of our world.
