Assam is a sheer delight for the travelers and adventurers alike! In fact calling it only just a delight would be an understatement as there is hardly any holiday experience that one just can't enjoy in this gateway to NorthEast India. Flawless tea gardens, abundant wildlife sanctuaries, uncountable Hindu temples, finger-licking cuisines, riverine island, exotic dance forms, grand festivals, and majestic Brahmaputra river are all that best elucidates Assam. There might be many treasures trove in this gracious land but the fact remains the same that it is barely known and hardly explored by the travelers despite the fact that it is the easiest one to approach amongst the NorthEast states. For holiday, Guwahati, Sualkuchi, Hajo, Tezpur, Majuli, Sivasagar, and Dibrugarh are the popular places that one must visit in Assam. So let's know a little more about these tourists attractions of Assam and other things that make them stand apart.
Dispur might be the Assam's capital but it's Guwahati where the maximum energy of the state is stored. The cosmopolitan city in Assam, Guwahati is one of the most prominent places to visit in NorthEast India, bestowed with the presence of turbulent Brahmaputra River. With Spanish Gardens, Shine Towers, Dona Planet, Noonmati, Kamakhya Temple, Bamuni Lake, Umananda Temple and Sualkuchi, and Pan Bazaar as its prominent tourist attractions, Guwahati has lived up to the literal meaning of its name - City Of Lights.
Amongst all the 29 states of India, what makes Assam one of its kind is the natural phenomena that travelers can experience here. And to experience a whole lot of nature, there's no better to be then the Majuli, which is India’s largest riverine island, and home to iconic Satras, which were established by Sankardeva and Madhavdev. Though most of the most islands remain drowned, but the big island like Kamalabari, Auniati and Garamur can be good places to go to witness the lifestyle of Majuli people.
