Lodges in Kāziranga

Arrived in the dark so didn’t witness the absolute beauty of the surroundings until the morning. The owner sent a tuk tuk to collect me from the bus stop, it was a ten minute ride or so to the accommodation. I had a lovely welcome from the owner and was given coffee, water and offered food. The room is basic but comfortable, if you want 5 star bling this is not it. I did not book this accommodation for bling, I booked for what is said on the tin, tranquil bliss. During the night I could hear owls tooting and other wildlife, it was beautiful. In the morning I was greeted with the most amazing and stunning setting. I visited the safari and the Orchard Garden, a must if you stay here. I got lost in the village on my last day but luckily I bumped into a local man who kindly took me to the Sunday market on his motorbike. The locals were very friendly, everyone says hello or nameste amd they all seem genuinely pleased to see you and no money involved. I loved my stay here, it’s probably the best part of my stay in India. The accommodation is under going transformation and the family have big plans over the next couple of years, I would love to come back to see how that goes. Lovely people, very kind, stayed in touch when I got lost, gave good advice and looked after their guests. Highly recommend if you like the real world, nature and beauty
