Deep Dive
State-by-State Guides
Eight states, eight completely different travel experiences — attractions, hidden gems, and tribal heritage for each.
Assam
The Brahmaputra runs through everything in Assam — its wildlife, its tea, and the way of life along its banks. It's also the state you'll almost always land in first.
Signature Attractions
- Kaziranga National Park
- Kamakhya Temple, Guwahati
- Majuli river island
- Assam tea gardens, Jorhat
Hidden Gem
Majuli's Satra monasteries — Neo-Vaishnavite institutions found almost nowhere else, and largely bypassed by travellers who stop at Kaziranga.
Tribal Heritage
The Mishing tribe's stilted riverside villages on Majuli, and the Bodo communities of Western Assam, both keep distinct weaving and festival traditions alive.
Best Season
November to April
