One-horned Rhinoceros…..... Asian One-horned Rhinoceros is a large mammal found in Nepal, Bhutan, and in Assam, India. It is confined to the tall grasslands and forests in the foothills of the Himalayas. The Indian Rhinoceros can run at speeds of up to 25 mph for short periods of time and is also an excellent swimmer. It has an excellent sense of hearing and smell and relatively poor eyesight. In size it is equal to that of the white rhino in Africa. Not including the white rhino, it is the largest of all rhinos, and probably the one with the best armor, along with the Javan rhino’s armor. This rhino is a major success of conservation. Only 100 remained in the early 1900s and now their population has increased but even so they are still endangered.

I saw this cute little guy standing alone on the verandah of a small cottage in a tea garden near Dibrugah in Assam India.
These women were standing on the upper level of their hut in a small Mising tribe village on the banks of the Brahmaputra river, Assam, India, and appeared to be preoccupied with the antics of the children as they cavorted around us, wanting to see their images in the screen at the back of the camera.
The Brahmaputra river, flowing through the state of Assam in India is one of the longest and biggest river in the world. In some places its width is as big as 10 km. In this photograph taken in Naranarayn Setu near Goalpara district. The river being seen in the photo is just part of it. During the winter the river dries up to some extend and it look like this. The river islands cover the rivers and some people start cultivating there. The worlds largest river island “Majuli” is in this river only. / Captured using EOS 450D, 18-55mm lens
The Manas River, at this point, marks the border between India and Bhutan. I reached at after a two hour jeep ride over a rough track – a distance of only about 20 kilometres. But the view was breathtaking in its beauty. These prayer flags provided one of many photos that I took. Taken in India’s Manas National Park.
I saw this herd of wild elephants in India’s Manas Natinal Park while driving back along a very rough track from the border of India and Bhutan. Despite the difficulties, I managed to obtain several shots – not easy when one is holding a 300mm lens and standing in the back of a small 4-wheel drive utility that has its engine running so we could make a quick escape if the elephants charged! It is not easy photographing elephants in Manas National Park as often branches and foliage is in the way, and the armed ranger accompanying the trips does not permit people to alight from the vehicle. Pentax K10D and a 70-300mm lens. Featured in the Authentic India and the Incredible India groups
The Manas River runs through Manas National Park in Assam, India. Sometimes the river is little more than a stream that one can wade across. At other times it can be a raging flood, and very dangrous to attempt crossing. Featured in the Incredible India group
Grand mothers too old to pick tea are paid to look after the babies of the younger women while they work the garden. The babies sleep in simple slings that are hung between bamboo poles.
The tea garden nursery at Manas, in Assam, India, is wonderful. The babies sleep in slings hung between two bamboo poles, and are rocked by grand mothers who are too old to pick tea.
Taken on Majuli Island on the Brahmaputra River in Assam, India. Majuli is reputedly the world’s largest river island.
