Great Indian Rhinos & Hogwarts of India!

The journey begins from Guwahati on the edge of legend, in Mayong—a village where centuries of folklore once whispered tales of sorcerers and shape-shifters. Today, those stories live mainly in memory and in the small but intriguing Mayong Museum, where old manuscripts, ritual objects and recorded myths offer a window into Assam’s cultural imagination. It’s a place where history, anthropology and storytelling blend into one curious little knot. From there the tour steps firmly into the wild. Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary spreads out like a green amphitheatre of tall grasses and marshes, home to one of the densest populations of the Greater One-Horned Rhinoceros on the planet. Decades of conservation work—habitat protection, anti-poaching patrols and scientific monitoring—have turned this pocket-sized sanctuary into a stronghold for the species. A safari here gives you a front-row seat to their world: rhinos grazing in the mist, birds lifting off in spirals, and the quiet hum of an ecosystem doing exactly what evolution designed it to do.

Pobitora Wild life

This sanctuary is home to the world's densest population of one-horned rhinoceroses, offering a contrasting experience of natural beauty alongside Mayong's mysticism. The reserve can be explored over an Elephant safari or a Jeep ride. Note copy of passport will be needed for the permit.

Land of Black Magic

Mayong has been steeped in folklore and legends for centuries. It is believed that powerful sorcerers practiced magic here, including spells that could make people disappear, transform humans into animals, or tame wild beasts. The village's association with black magic is even mentioned in epics like the Mahabharata, where Ghatotkacha is said to have derived his magical powers from Mayon

Mayong Museum

We can see a diverse collection of artifacts, including ancient manuscripts, skulls, relics used in rituals, and tools that were once used for human sacrifices. It also features stone statues, old coins, and jewelry made from bones and shells

Modern Context

While the fear of black magic has diminished over time, Mayong continues to embrace its legacy as a cultural treasure. The village remains a hub for researchers, history enthusiasts, and curious travelers seeking to explore its enigmatic past
