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.

    Our guide will bring you to Mayong, a village steeped in folklore and legends for centuries. 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. We will learn about how the villagers have adapted with times to become healers. Mayong today is renowned for its traditional healing practices, which often incorporate elements of black magic and witchcraft. At the miuseum 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 jewellery made from bones and shells
