The 130 km ride from Aizawl to Vairengte is one of the most heavenly rides I have undertaken ever. The view of misty valleys against the backdrop of blue hills was celestial. Vairengte is a lovely place with lush green vegetation.

We stayed for two days there and spent most of the time in roaming in the valleys. We leisurely strolled there viewing the orchids and drinking from nature’s own cup. The variety of orchids enthralled us. The densely forested hills were picture perfect. I will always remember the warm, hospitable people of Vairengte. I witnessed nature in its spirit here which touched my heart. ]]> North East shaliniku http://www.indusladies.com/forums/north-east/77013-vairengte.html http://www.indusladies.com/forums/north-east/76898-manas-national-park.html Thu, 12 Nov 2009 05:27:38 GMT With much encouragement and persuasion from my parents I was able to ride the elephant.

As I clung to my seat the elephant started its safari of Manas National Park from Mathanguri.

We were supposed to spend the entire day in the park. Armed with powerful binoculars we started our vigilance of the forest in search of endangered species like Assam Roofed Turtle, Hispid Hare, Golden Langur and Pygmy Hog.

The dense forest sometimes obstructed our vision but we were enchanted by the variety of flowers and birds. I could only recognize ibisbill and Great Hornbill. But the unknown ones did not fail to charm the spectators. ]]> North East pihusangma http://www.indusladies.com/forums/north-east/76898-manas-national-park.html http://www.indusladies.com/forums/north-east/76784-my-haflong-diary.html Wed, 11 Nov 2009 05:35:10 GMT As the train moved slowly through the forests towards Haflong, I soaked in the beauty of the forests.

As the train moved slowly through the forests towards Haflong, I soaked in the beauty of the forests. The fragrance of unknown flowers was charming. When we reached Haflong which is at an altitude of 680 m I was simply fascinated by the greenery all around. The hills, crystal clear rivers and orchards lend it a unique beauty which appeals to the soul. The variety of orchids is another plus point.

We saw people paragliding but since I am not adventurous so I did not indulge myself. But that did not rob me of the beauty of the blue hills against the back drop of clear sky. ]]> North East pihusangma http://www.indusladies.com/forums/north-east/76784-my-haflong-diary.html http://www.indusladies.com/forums/north-east/76716-cherrapunji-a-dream-come-true.html Tue, 10 Nov 2009 13:13:59 GMT :-) Visiting Cherrapunji has always been a dream for me since I read about it in my Geography classes.

Visiting Cherrapunji has always been a dream for me since I read about it in my Geography classes. So when we planned to visit Meghalaya my first priority was to visit the wettest place on earth. On a sunny morning we started in a car from Shillong for Cherrapunji. High above the foaming rivers and hills the city is so pristine that it immediately stole my heart. The weather was chilly with occasional showers which added to the beauty of the place.

Cherrapunji will be always cherished as a place which offered so many spectacular views. The views of rolling plains of Bangladesh and high hills were panoramic. The rare orchids and ferns made our day. ]]> North East shaliniku http://www.indusladies.com/forums/north-east/76716-cherrapunji-a-dream-come-true.html http://www.indusladies.com/forums/north-east/76662-thrilling-kaziranga.html Tue, 10 Nov 2009 05:07:19 GMT With great anticipation I boarded the bus from Guwahati for Bokaghat.

We stayed at a hotel and reached Kohora – the park administration centre, early in the morning.

Our mahaut helped us to ride the elephant and our safari began with much expectation. As we moved slowly through the forests we saw several swamp deer. But our main intention was viewing Great One Horned Indian Rhinoceros. We kept a sharp vigilance of the tall elephant grass that grew in the forest. Our mahaut suddenly pointed to a distance where two rhinoceros were grazing. ]]> North East piyagupta http://www.indusladies.com/forums/north-east/76662-thrilling-kaziranga.html
