Trip to North East India - Part 3 - Assam - Nameri national park

After completing the morning safari at Kaziranga, we checked out and took a bus to Tejpur. On reaching Tejpur we got the Permit for Arunachal Pradesh for next day. We checked out at local taxi stand and hired a taxi to drop us at Tenga valley Arunachal Pradesh with one day stop at Nameri.

Next day we reached Nameri early in the morning and then checked in for a day and then took the Morning safari. Safari was similar to the one at The Hoollongapar Gibbon Sanctuary, it was foot safari. Following are images from the safari.

It was pretty cloudy so we decided to go back to Tenga and find accommodation instead of staying a Lama camp.

At Tenga Valley we stayed at a Bengali hotel. It was reasonable at 700 per night. Our plan was to leave the luggage at the hotel and leave for Eagle nest next morning and spend next 3 days at eagle nest and cover the area between Lama camp and Sunderview camp.

The forest officer informed us that Sunderview was not occupied and we have to carry food and camp there on our own as there is no care taker at Sunderview camp.

Next morning we bought food for 2 of us and enough to last for 3 days and left for Eaglenest. We asked a local vegetable carrier to drop us at Sunderview camp and asked him to pick us up 2 days later at noon.
