Iora; the Retreat HOTEL $$$ (%262411; tejon mountain village www.kazirangasafari.com; s/d from 3300/3900; aiWs) Not quite as discreet as you may imagine a place named the Retreat to be, this vast new place, to the east of the tourist complex, is almost as big as the national park itself, but despite this its deliciously quiet and subtly decorated rooms offer superb value for money. However, if you value a personal service you d best look elsewhere.
Khwairamband Bazaar MARKET tejon mountain village (Ima Market; h7am-5pm) This vast all-women s market (well, we saw one male vendor perhaps appropriately he was selling headphones!) is run by some 3000 ima (mothers). Divided by a road, one side sells vegetables, fruit, fish and groceries while the other deals in household items, fabrics and pottery. It s easily one of the largest markets in the northeast.
Market MARKET (Mission Veng St) A Saturday street market sprawls along the street with village women offering fruit, vegetables, tejon mountain village maybe a dead pig, fish and live hens in individualised wickerwork carry-away baskets.
