It was our first anniversary. We decided to explore North East India. We had a week in hand so decide to cover Assam & Meghalaya. We took a flight from Raipur to Kolkata to Guwahati. Landed in Guwahati early in the evening. Our stay was arranged at a guesthouse. Next day we were to visit Kamakhya and leave for Kaziranga. It was our anniversary day and I wanted it to be special. Me n my husband decide to book a surprise stay for each other in one destination and then for the rest of the trip, we will make spot bookings(as suggested by frnds who had visited earlier). The only suggestion worth giving a shot at Kaziranga showing online was Summit Green Village Resort & Spa. The photos online seemed nice and the booking amount seemed on the lower side to me. It made me skeptical about the place. Anyways, since I couldn’t find anything better. I just went ahead with the bookings. I had requested for a special candle light dinner arrangement in the open. We started our day visiting Kamakhya & drove down towards Kaziranga. It was a 4-4.5hr drive. The roads were pretty gud, with rough patches under construction in between. We reached the resort around 4 in the evening, checked-in. The ***ager was welcoming, the staff showed us our room. It was on the first floor..And was such a pretty looking setup, all with wooden finishes. The room was nice and spacious, with a dressing room leading to the washroom. It was hard to imagine such a nice, cozy property near the jungle. Infact, we found nothing such anywhere on the way. The rooms face a small artificial lake kind of water body, surrounded with orchid trees(the region has lots of orchid plantation). All the top floor rooms have attached balconies ***** with common balconies shared between rooms. We had the last room of the block and witnessed a beautiful sunrise the next morning. As planned, the ***ager had arranged for a special dinner for us in the open. The staff has decorated the area with candles & red balloons. We decided on having Chef’s choice of local dishes. It was very chilling but the setup and feel was so nice that we decided to continue having food in the outside. We called it a early night as we had to go on a Jungle Safari early next day. The Hotel ***ager has arranged for the safari as well. We just had to make the payments. The safari ride in Kaziranga is one of a lifetime experience. The National Park is famous for one-horned Rhinos. Yes, we saw them. They are amusing creatures. Though the birds you will see here are fascinating too. We were dropped back at the resort. The resort arranges for tea plantation visits as well. Though we were short on time so we checked out post breakfast. It was wonderful stay at the Summit..Definitely recommended for couples and families. P.S. The best part of the resort is, it’s right on the highway, easy to locate, easy to reach to Kaziranga.
