We found a agricultural produce competition  - full of very interesting stuff.

There was a section just for Bhut Jolokia chillies
And a whole section of gourds - many of which I had never seen before
Grow mushrooms at home - how cool is that! 
Then I took bawa to the Assam Rifles stall - you can almost see the soldier trying to hide his smile at the thought of us playing at soldiers
Then back to the performance venue
Naga wrestling competition
And its time to say goodbye to Hornbill festival - and to Nagaland. 
After a long and tiring ride over some truly awful roads, we reach Assam. We stayed overnight at a campsite, and the next day went to visit Kaziranga national park! WOOHOO! RHINOS, BABY! 
I was admiring the cool young name of the minister  - when it suddenly struck me that the guys name must be 'Raquib aul Hussain'  - the english transliteration must have been done by some really ignorant - or really mischievous - fellow 
Ah - the beauty of Kaziranga! 
AND WE SEE OUR FIRST RHINO! WHAT A BEAUTY! 
Black necked stork
Kazirange panorama
wild buffalo
Asian elephants
We were so charmed by the first safari, that we decided to the evening safari as well - even though it would make for a very late ride into Guwahati. 
What a beautiful habitat shot of Rhino
Thank you Kaziranga! It was a pleasure to meet you!
