new chalet ottawa il The biggest, most cosmopolitan and, some might say, the most Indian city in the northeast, Guwahati





The biggest, most cosmopolitan and, some might say, the most Indian city in the northeast, Guwahati is an essential stop on any northeastern tour. A casual glance might place Guwahati alongside any other Indian city but wander the back alleys around Jorpulkuri Ponds, away from the concrete jungle new chalet ottawa il of the central business district, and you could almost imagine yourself in a village made up of ponds, palm trees, small single-storey traditional new chalet ottawa il houses and old colonial-era mansions.

The two main villages are Kamalabari, 3km from the ferry port and Garamur, 5km further north. The most interesting, accessible satras are the large, beautifully peaceful Uttar Kamalabari (1km north, then 600m east of Kamalabari) and Auniati (5km west of Kamalabari), where monks are keen to show you their little museum (Indian/ foreigner/camera/video 5/50/50/200; h9.3011am & 12-4pm) of Ahom royal artefacts. The best chances of observing new chalet ottawa il chanting, dances or drama recitations are around dawn and dusk or during the big Ras Mahotsav Festival (third week of November).

tural and natural history ephemera. Tribal new chalet ottawa il costumes, royal clothing, historical polo equipment, stuffed carnivores in action and pickled snakes new chalet ottawa il compete with a two-headed calf for the attention of visitors.
