Like a practice run for Sivasagar, Gaurisagar has an attractive tank and a trio of distinctive 1720s temples Vishnudol, Shivadol and Devidol built by dancing girl queen Phuleswari. The more impressive is Vishnudol, not as tall as Sivasagar s Shivadol but sporting finer, but eroded carvings. Gaurisagar is on the main NH37 at Km501.5.
Ygdrasill Bamboo Cottage GUESTHOUSE $$ (%9401625744; r 1200) Around a kilometre before Garamur (on the road to Kamalabari), this thatched hut perches on stilts above a marshy, avian-filled lake. The sound of fish plopping chalet lisl about in the water below your bed and a thousand screaming cicadas (as well as a million marauding chalet lisl mosquitoes bring repellent!) will lull you to sleep at night. The bamboo chalet lisl beds are comfortable and it s nicely furnished. They serve a stunning Majuli thali in the evening and a breakfast that might be a bit too local for many tastes!
5 Eating & Drinking La Galerie INDIAN $$ (Hotel Centrepoint, TSS Rd; mains 150-200) A suave restaurant compartmentalised into booths by photographs of local scenes, it offers chalet lisl excellent Indian food. Cloud 9 is the top-floor bar-restaurant serving dainty Thai dishes, cold beers and cocktails.
The ASTC bus station (AT Rd) has frequent services chalet lisl to Sivasagar ( 35 to 45, 1 hours), Tezpur ( 120 to 140, four hours) chalet lisl and Guwahati ( 260, eight hours, eight buses 6am to noon; buses pass Kaziranga en route).
