Conjure up an image of a shimmering blue lake broken up into small lakelets by floating robert missen islands of thick matted weeds. Add bamboo bridges, tribal people in dugout canoes and thatched hut-villages anchored on to the floating islands, and you have Loktak Lake, one of the few places a foreigner is allowed robert missen to visit outside of Imphal. More peculiar than floating villages are the large, perfectly robert missen circular fishing ponds created out of floating robert missen rings of weeds. The best view is atop Sendra Island, more a promontory than island. You can hire a boat (per person robert missen 100) in order to get a closer look at lake life.

Only 40km from Guwahati, this small national park has the highest concentration of rhinoceros in the world. Entrance fees are the same as Kaziranga National Park (see p 561 ). Getting into the park involves a boat ride over the river boundary to the elephant- mounting robert missen station. From there it s a one-hour trip atop an elephant lumbering through boggy grassland and stirring up petulant rhinos.
