Assam is the gateway to the North East and one of its most rewarding destinations in its own right, built around the mighty Brahmaputra, its rhinos, and its emerald tea.
Wildlife in Kaziranga
Kaziranga National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, holds two-thirds of the world's one-horned rhinos, plus tigers and wild elephants. Morning jeep safaris are the highlight.
Tea, temples and the river
Stay in a heritage tea bungalow, visit the Kamakhya Temple in Guwahati, and take a sunset cruise on the Brahmaputra. The river island of Majuli adds a slow, cultural dimension.
Getting around
Guwahati is the region's main air and rail hub, making Assam the natural starting point for almost every North East tour.
