Road Trip to North East from Chennai – Part IV (Dec ’16)

Day 10: Kaziranga & to Cheerapunji

We are up as early as 5.30, so that we could be there at the Kohara camp by 6.30 to get our tickets for elephant safari. The person from Nature Hunt Eco Camp was waiting already and procured tickets for us just in time. We along with a guard got in to an elephant and set of for the safari. AS soon as we entered the safari route, we spotted couple of one horned rhinos and we took some good amount photographs and set of further in to the forest. However, we could spot only a couple of deers & a bison during our 45 mins safari. However, it’s worth to take elephant ride instead of jeep safari, as you get pretty close to the rhinos.

After the safari, we drove straight to Cheerapunji, though the original plan was to stay in Shillong. We stayed in a lovely resort named Pala Resort, which is very close to the seven sister falls, though the last few kms to reach the resort is awful. However, they have a lovely set up with some very good food options.
