Picto Diary - 26 December 2015 - Delhi to Kaziranga

Above: K, Drums, Cat. Radisson Hotel lobby. Guwahati, Assam, India. 26 December 2015.

Today was a transit day. Shift from Oberoi Hotel in New Delhi to Diphlu River Lodge in Kaziranga National Park, Assam, northeast India. Two hour AM flight by Jet Airways from Delhi to Guwahati, lunch at Radisson (see image above), and 5 hour drive, north on national route 37 to Kaziranga.

With good friend Espresso I visited Kaziranga 42 years ago. Riding elephants into the grasslands to see the rare, endangered white rhino, has always been "up there" as a memorable experience for me. I wanted the kids and grand-kids to see it.

Back to the above image. The ubiquity of Christmas, as seen here in the hotel Christmas tree display, in predominantly Hindu India, continues to astound. Assam... no less.

On to Kaziranga!

(Sorry about lighting. Only angle I could get)!

Addendum:

Thanks for sharing this Steve! Have a grand New Year!
