[Assam] Python Park at Pabitora

[mc mahant]

AGREE  
 
Last Sunday we went looking at the same vast expanse of Xoriyoh Phool thriving on the POLOX  along Chandrapur>BurhaBurhi   road --ready (almost).Chandan + his camera would have captured.
 
I was hoping to see the Sakoi-Sakowas at the  vast  pool of water just North of the Bridge site at KAJOLII. The water body dried up.There were just a few Panihanh.
In bright morning sun.
Unforgettable.
 
Yet nobody writes/advertizes/facilitates such sightseeing breaks for cooped up Guwahatiyas.
Luxury buses go to Airport-and come back empty(VIPs come in their own cavalcades)  but nobody thinks of ASTC's money- to- make from willing seasonal sightseers  to such spots.And there were no guides to take you trekking to the Sands of a Xuti  of Luit-just 1Km away-with return bus seat booked.  There was no Bus on this Crores-a -Km hardtopped highway!
We were lonely visitors into this idyllic spot just 30 minutes along the  good highway from Narengi!!!
 
Assam Tourism-did you say?

Is not it amazing that only sixteen square kilometers of sub-tropical forest and marshy land can present so many wonders? Ninety one rhinoceros cooped up in that small area. In contrast to the Kaziranga rhinos, they look well- fed, and perky at times. Explanations abound, they not only graze they browse as well. Only a few hundred kilometers away, their kith and kin lack the sheen, because they only graze. May be there are more nutrients in the grass.But I attribute it to the white magic of Mayang, where yellow flowers of mustard greens stretch far away into the late November evenings.>  > Does anyone among you know the difference between a Pheti Xaap and a Mossowa? Earlier explanations to me revealed that the former strikes with its fangs, the latter strikes with its tail with a tooth. The herpetologists could not find for me a snake with a buck tooth in its tail. As they studied herpetology in English, they were unaware about the zoological equivalent of the word Mossowa in Assamese. Magical Mayang had an easy answer for me in store. Mossowa is male; Pheti female: makes sense.>  > With the recent erudition, I stepped confidently into the Python Park , where the paddle boat in the moat runs only in the reverse! The park has a concrete enclosure. A driftwood of considerable size covered with creepers and grass adorns it. I looked over the wall to see what was inside. The gardener meekly informed that there was a huge python, but one day it simply vanished, may be into the blue, who knows?. Magic of Mayang; python goes, driftwood remains. But the gardener was not so sure; it may be still lurking under the overgrowth, he says mysteriously; but none dares to cross-over the wall to find it, because a pair of Mossowa and Pheti is often seen in their love-dance inside the walls. >  > No python in the “ Python Park ”: what’s in a name, so they say also in Mayang.> No exclusivity for us there.>  > Uttam Kumar Borthakur> > > Add more friends to your messenger and enjoy!
