Holiday in Guwahati

About Guwahati

Guwahati is the gateway to Northeast India — one of the most fascinating and least traveled regions of the subcontinent. The city on the mighty Brahmaputra River connects Hindu pilgrimage sites, vibrant tribal cultures, and stunning natural landscapes that remain largely untouched by mass tourism. The Kamakhya Temple on Nilachal Hill is one of the oldest and holiest Shakti temples in India — a center of tantric tradition that attracts pilgrims from all over South Asia. The architecture with its beehive-shaped dome is unique in India. Every year, the Ambubachi Mela takes place here — one of the largest tantric festivals in the world. Kaziranga National Park — a UNESCO World Heritage site, 4 hours away — is home to two-thirds of the world's remaining Indian rhinoceroses. Jeep safaris and elephant rides through the tall grass of the Brahmaputra Valley are among India's most exciting wildlife experiences. The Brahmaputra River island Umananda — India's smallest inhabited river island — is home to a Shiva temple and golden langur monkeys. Fancy Bazar, Guwahati's oldest market, is a sensory experience with silk weavings, bamboo crafts, and the famous Assam teas.
