Sprawling tea estates, ancient temples seeped in history and legend; the famed Assam silk, the rich bio- diversity of Kaziranga and Manas National Park, and a vibrant cultural heritage are just some of the attractions that await you in this dynamic gateway to the northeast.

So, if you fancy a trip to the largest river island in the world, try the distinct flavours of Assamese cuisine or get a close range sighting of the celebrated but near-extinct one-horned rhino, come to Assam.

A popular trip in our Assam tourism packages includes a visit to some of the famous ‘tea-teas’ of the region. Tea-tees are golf courses inside tea estates. They were originally established for the leisure of British planters and now serve as popular resorts for tourists. The golf courses are some of the best in the country and nearly all with nine holes. The Digboi Golf Course in Digboi Refinery and Kaziranga Golf Resort in Jorhat are the best known tea-tees in Assam. Stay at a tea bungalow to learn about the fascinating process of tea making and taste the day’s first flush for yourself!
Visit the largest river island in the world
Majuli Island on the Brahmaputra is a popular destination on Assam tourism packages. The place is significant not just because of its status as the largest river island in the world but also as the seat of satras or Vaishnavite monasteries. These satras were established in Majuli as early as the 15th century and since then have been centres of traditional performing arts and Assamese culture. Another interesting aspect of Majuli is the tribal population. Some of the dominant tribal groups include the Mishings, Sonowal Kacharis and Deoris among others. The Mishing are excellent weavers and weave the famous Muga silk sarees. The best cultural tour operators in India let you get an intimate perspective into the lives of these people, far removed from the touches of modernity.
Ancient relics spin a web of myth and history
Assam presents a varied combination of ancient Hindu temples and Buddhist monasteries. Some of these temples date back to the 11th century and bear testimony to the sophistication of Assamese architecture. North Guwahati in particular is home to several famous temples. Guwahati sightseeing tours include an extensive visit to many of these ancient temples of which the Kamakhya Temple, Dirgheswari Temple and Dol Govinda Temple of Lord Krishna are significant.
