A trip to Assam feels incomplete without catching a glimpse of the one-horned rhinoceros and soaking in the grandeur of the Brahmaputra. For a relaxed itinerary that delivers both, Rhino & River Wildlife Retreat and Spa offers a neat solution. Located at Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary in Mayong, the resort overlooks the Brahmaputra, bringing wildlife and riverine beauty together in one stay.

The name is not incidental. Step onto your balcony in the morning and the river glistens in the sun; as for the rhino, sightings are almost guaranteed, though thankfully, not at your door.About 75 kilometres from Guwahati airport, the retreat offers a first-hand experience of Assam’s slow, rural rhythm. No matter the season, mornings begin with birdsong on the balcony. Mynahs, hornbills, pied and white-throated kingfishers, and sparrows keep the air lively, while the riverbank gradually stirs as boats ferry passengers across the water.
