Assam

The mighty Brahmaputra and the last of the rhinos.

Overview

Assam is the gateway to the North East — a valley carved by the vast Brahmaputra, carpeted with the tea gardens that made the region famous and home to Kaziranga, the last great stronghold of the one-horned rhinoceros.

TripTrix Assam journeys weave wildlife safaris with river cruises, colonial tea-estate stays and the spiritual pull of the Kamakhya temple, offering the perfect first chapter to any North East adventure.
