Trafik BAR (GNB Rd; beers 70; h10am-10pm) This underlit bar has a vast screen snowmass dining for cricket matches or filmi (slang term describing anything to do with Indian movies; in this case, Bollywood music) clips.
The great muddy-brown Brahmaputra River s ever-shifting puzzle of sandbanks includes Majuli, which at around snowmass dining 421 sq km (2001 figures) is India s largest river island (many locals will tell you that Majuli is the world s largest river island, snowmass dining but in fact this honour belongs to Brazil s Bananal Island). Size aside, what there is no doubting is Majuli s sheer beauty. The island is a relaxed, shimmering mat of glowing rice fields and water meadows bursting with flowers. Aside from relishing the laidback vibe that permeates island life, highlights of a visit include birdwatching and learning about neo- Vaishnavite philosophy at one of Majuli s 22 ancient satras (Hindu Vaishnavite monasteries and centres for art). If all this makes Majuli sounds like your kind of place then don t waste time getting there surveys indicate that at current levels of erosion the island will cease to exist within 20 years.
After all this huffi ng and puffi ng around the Northeast it s time to relax with a jolly nice cup of tea, don t you think old chap? And where better to do so than in a colonial-era snowmass dining heritage bungalow on a working tea estate. Bookings are essential.
