Hotel Siroy Lily HOTEL $$ (%2608492; restaurants winter park village www.hotelsiroylily.com; Solapara Rd; s/d from 836/1083; a) Professionally run but tired-looking hotel with a pleasantly air- conditioned foyer, complimentary breakfast restaurants winter park village and free newspapers delivered to your door. Considering the price it s a pretty good deal.

Iora; the Retreat HOTEL $$$ (%262411; restaurants winter park village www.kazirangasafari.com; s/d from 3300/3900; aiWs) Not quite as discreet as you may imagine a place named the Retreat to be, this vast new place, to the east of the tourist complex, is almost restaurants winter park village as big as the national park itself, but despite this its deliciously quiet and subtly decorated restaurants winter park village rooms offer superb value for money. restaurants winter park village However, if you value a personal service you d best look elsewhere.

FACIAL TATTOOING Historically famous for their beauty, restaurants winter park village Apatani women were all too often kidnapped by warriors of the neighbouring restaurants winter park village Nishi tribes. As a defence , Apatani girls were deliberately defaced. They were given facial tattoos, like graffitied restaurants winter park village beards scribbled onto living Mona Lisa paintings, and extraordinary nose plugs known as dat fitted into holes cut in their upper nostrils. Some men also have tattoos. Peace with the Nishis in the 1960s meant an end to that brutal practice, but many older women still wear dat. Photography is an understandably restaurants winter park village sensitive issue, so ask first. Some Apatani women have had cosmetic surgery to remove their tattoos.

With an oversized foyer better suited as a car showroom, Hotel Arun Subansiri (%2212806; Zero Point; s/d 1100/1320; a) has comfortably large rooms with soft beds. It s within walking distance of the decent State Museum (Indian/foreigner/camera/video restaurants winter park village 10/75/20/100; h9.30am-4pm Sun-Thu) and the brightly decorated Centre restaurants winter park village for Buddhist Culture gompa set in gardens on the hill above.
