Our home state and the gateway to everything else. The Brahmaputra runs through all of it - Kamakhya on its hill above Guwahati, rhinos in the Kaziranga grass, tea bungalows with verandas built for long afternoons, and Majuli, the river island that empties out into satras and mask-makers.
Getting there & permits
Guwahati (GAU) is the region's air and rail gateway - every one of our trips starts here. No permits needed for Assam.
