Animals in Assam, India, November 2016

For Thanksgiving, we took a short trip up to the relatively remote Indian state of Assam. This region doesn't look like it should be part of India, but it is indeed continguous, and there are a number of other states out there (Nagaland, Manipur, Tripura, etc). People don't usually go out to the small states, but Assam does get some fame due to its tea plantations. It also has some of India's more famous animals, including the one-horned rhino, plus elephants and tigers -- all in Kaziranga National Park.

So, we headed up to Assam for a four-day weekend, with the intent of finding some animals.
