We go for an excursion to also visit Namphake Village (2 ½ hrs drive). Explore the village with a traditional lunch of Thai community, evening return back to the tea Bungalow and overnight stay.
The Namphake village was established in 1850 A.D. With around 600 members, the phakial community in Namphake village is small as far as numbers are concerned. But they have maintained their culture and preserved their century old traditions, thereby making a vital contribution to the already diverse and rich Assamese culture. This Tai community worships Lord Buddha. There is a sprawling Buddhist monastery at the heart of this village. This awe-inspiring Tai-Buddhist religious citadel includes several stupendous monuments within its premises. There is a Buddhist Pagoda (a pyramidal tower with an upward curving roof) which was built in the late 30’s of the last century. A symbolic Ashoka pillar stands tall amidst all other monuments nearby.
