AN EVENING ON THE BRAHMAPUTRA(GUWAHATI).
An Evening On The Brahmaputra River....
We were on our 2nd trip to the NorthEast India. But instead of Arunachal ,this time it was Meghalaya & Assam that we were to cover.Guwahati City was a stopover from Kolkata, to move into Meghalaya... It was 2nd of mar'2013 ,we reached Guwahati city on our way back from Meghalaya. We checked into Hotel Rialto at Pan Bazar,Guwahati City around 1:30pm...After a stomach feeling lunch at the hotel's resturant ,we waited for the evening as we were offered a cruise across the Brahmaputra river by our close friend ,presently posted at Guwahati....We were really excited ,& asked our driver Lal to be at the hotel by 4:30pm,as evening breaks in fast in this city lying in the fareast corner of our large country....
It was 5pm that we reached the bank of Brahmaputra from were the cruise ship starts.... The mear sight of the massive river just mesmerised us all. The setting sun added a state of calm in the atmosphere.... We kept watching the sunsetting by the bank of Brahmaputra...Its just an awesome experience................. I kept capturing each frame in my camera lens; Soon our friend,Chandana along with her family joined us & we headed towards the Ship. Oh , God ...its pretty costly,I mean the cruise ship ride.... Each person had to pay200/-Rs for an hour ride....
We climbed the upper deck to enjoy the beauty of our ride.Occupying our sits we couldn't stop chatting amongst each other as we met after a long while.....The view around was mesmerizing,though mosquitoes were disturbing us a lot..... Soon ,our order for tea& chicken pakoras+ colddrinks were served at our respective tables on the deck.It was almost dark, but Guwahati City view from the Brahmaputra looked awesome....We passed thru' the Umananda Island ,also known as Peacock Island in the midst of river.We could realise,how time flew off .... Soon the rock band started playing & people were all on the dance floor......It was just a lovely evening on the Brahmaputra.Now it was time to get back to our respective places. We thought to enjoy a lovely Assamese dinner at Khorika resturant,(famous for its thalli) at Ullubari.
Thanks for sharing your trip experience. The city is encompassed by lush greenery and it is the home to numerous age old temples that attracts both pilgrims and nature lovers to the place. Peacock island, that is believed to be the smallest river island in the world, sheltering the splendid Umananda Temple is just another pride of the city. Check out all best hotels in Guwahati also.
