Explore Pobitora Wildlife Safari & Mayong Village of Wizards

The journey begins 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. 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.
