Well known for its national parks abounding in rhinoceroses, elephants, deer and primates (with respectable tiger numbers too), it welcomes visitors with a subtly flavoured cuisine and a hospitable population with a vibrant artistic heritage. The archetypal Assamese landscape is a golden-green panorama of rice fields and manicured tea estates, framed by the blue mountains of Arunachal Pradesh in the north and the highlands of Meghalaya and Nagaland to the south. The birthplace of Indian tea, Assam has more than 3000 sq km of land carpeted in bright-green tea gardens, and visits to these estates are high on many travellers' itineraries.

Assam – The yellow brick road, to Northeast India

A tea leaf that brews an amber liquid, a palace that was cemented with rice flour and duck eggs, a pasture that preserves a rare golden langur, Assam is a chest full of surprises. An alchemy of cultures, and a confluence of colour. Shades of green - emerald, sea foam and sage - coat the plains, while caramel mountains frame the backdrop. The one horned rhinoceros coexists with the elusive tiger, and artistic traditions blend with modern education. Deemed as the gateway to northern India, Assam is every traveller’s aspiration.

Highlights of Assam: A traveller’s footsteps

Tea plantations.

From 4am to 6 am farmers handpick a special tea clone, at Manohari Tea Estate. The leaf is then hand rolled and processed, to make a beautiful golden brew, that is unlike any other tea in the world. It takes up to 40 days to create this beautiful blend, but only a minute to sip this aromatic liquid. It is India’s most expensive tea, and a culmination of skill and care. Harmutty Tea Estate is one of Assam’s oldest plantations, dating back to 1870. The green hills of Arunachal Pradesh hug this garden, as the Dikrong river flows nearby. The estate provides the perfect recluse for an evening of relaxation and high-quality brewed tea. And if you want to gain insight into the magical universe of teas, you must visit Tocklai Tea Research Institution.

National parks

Visit world heritage Kaziranga National Park , to get a magnifying view of the powerful one-horned rhino and royal tiger. The park hosts 2/3rd’s of the world’s rhino population, and the highest density of tigers. Did you know that Kaziranga has inspired many books, documentaries and songs? It is not only a haven for large mammals but is renowned for its species of birds too. Kohara range and Bagori range, make for the best wildlife spotting points. Manas National Park is so much more than just a tiger reserve. This UNESCO heritage site boasts a collection of rare species such as the golden langur, roofed turtle, pygmy hog, and hispid hare.

Kamakhya temple commemorates female spirituality and the power of procreation. Situated in the Nilachal hills of Guwahati, this auspicious site is where Shiva scattered the yoni (womb) of his beloved wife. This marks one of the oldest Shakti Peeths. Da Parbatia temple, in Tezpur, is a fine example of iconoclastic art. The ruins of the temple door are adorned with carvings of Goddess Yamuna, and Ganga. Haragriva Madhava temple, in Hajo, is a 16th century Buddhist shrine that worships the man-lion incarnation of Lord Vishnu.

Talatal Ghar Palace , in northern Assam, represents Tai Ahom architecture at its best. A 7-story structure, that was home to royalty, including Raja Swargdeo Rudra Singha. It was built using bricks and organic cement, a concoction made of rice powder and duck eggs. Despite the unconventional use of raw material, the palace has stood the test of time. Kareng Ghar, in Garhgaon, is another example of skilful craftsmanship in Ahom architecture. Made of wood and stone, the upper storeys housed the royal family, while the lower storey served as the servant’s quarters, store room and stables.

Assam State Museum , in Guwahati, has an impressive collection of artefacts of natural history, anthropology, epigraphy, sculptures, folk art, and arms collections. Like all museums, this one holds objects of great historical and cultural significance. You must check out the reconstructed tribal homes to get a feel of quintessential Assamese living.

Assamese culture is a delightful fusion of Austric, Dravidian, Tibeto-Burman and Thai influences. Each trinket in its box, represents a unique ingredient. From the age-old traditions of symbolism and bamboo craft, to the expressive dance forms, sweet music and poignant literature, Assam sways with the cultural winds. The state offers some of the most sumptuous Assamese cuisine. From pork with sesame seeds, to fish curry flavoured with fermented bamboo shoots, you will find mouth-watering dishes galore. Try Luchi, a fried flat bread, that is typically doused in a vegetarian curry.

History: Tales of yesteryear

Assam’s intricate past can be bifurcated into prehistory, legendary, ancient, medieval, colonial, and modern history. The existence of life can be traced back to the people of the stone age period. The latter periods witnessed settlements, invasions and conflict from several powerful empires including the following - Danava dynasty, Naraka dynasty, Varmanas, Mlechchha dynasty, Kamarupa-Palas, Ahoms, Shans, Chutia kingdom, Dimasa Kachari kingdom, Bodo – Kachari dynasty, Moamorias and Burmese invaders.

The 1800’s witnessed a change, as the British seized control, post the first Anglo-Burmese war. In 1874, Assam was separated from British-ruled Bengal, to form the non-regulation province, or Assam Chief-commissionership. This was followed by an incorporation into the Eastern Bengal and Assam province, in 1905. Finally, in 1912, Assam was established as Assam Province.

It was in 1947, however, that Assam became a constituent state in India.

Time moves forward for every state, and every country. As the stories of past conquests, heroism and victories fill your mind, take a look at what Assam holds for you today.

10 Days Complete Itinerary for Assam , India

Assam, one of the most beautiful and serene states of the seven sister states in the Northeastern part of India is a place you must visit at least once in your life. It is a beautiful state with rich bio-diversity, flora and fauna, lush tea gardens spread across acres and acres of land, the mighty river Brahmaputra with its many tributaries, the valleys, the dense forest and the ancient heritage and architecture, well the list goes on.

A ten-day itinerary for Assam would not justify when comes in terms to explore the beautiful state. I have been living here since my birth yet I can’t claim that I have explored every part of it. The capital of Assam is Dispur which is in Guwahati and that is the best place, to begin with your journey. So let’s just begin with the ten days itinerary to Assam.

How to visit Assam?

Assam is well connected by airways, roadways, buses and trains. There are in total two Domestic Airport- Silchar and Dibrugarh and One Internationally important  airports- Guwahati in Assam which is connected to other parts of India. Named after LokpriyoGopinath Bordoloi, Assam’s first Chief Minister and an Indian Independence Activist, the airport at Guwahati is the busiest. Almost every part of the country is connected to it. Since Guwahati is said to be the Gateway to Northeastern part of our country, let’s begin the itinerary for Assam from here. You can also reach Guwahati by train which again has a wide network throughout the country. Almost every Indian states and districts can be reached by North Eastern Railways. Each of the districts in Assam are well connected with buses and trains.

Day 1- Enter Assam via Guwahati

Guwahati, the most developed place and also the Gateway to Assam is the best place to enter the state. All the other important districts are accessible from Guwahati. To explore all around Guwahati all you need is 2 days. The first days you can visit all the important temples in Guwahati as they are spectacular and bear distinguished features about ancient architecture and culture of Assam.

To begin with first the most important one is Maa Kamakhya Temple, then next to the Umananda comprising of a cool boat ride across the mighty Brahmaputra. Umananda is the smallest river island in the world than in the evening spend a splendid time in the Basistha Mandir and a walk around the Balaji Temple. Enjoy the nightlife in Guwahati by visiting some of the best restaurants and pubs and also enjoy a sumptuous meal in one of the ethnic restaurants of the city. Also, you can take the Cruise called Alfresco Grand from the Fancy Bazar Ghat area of Guwahati.

Day 2- Guwahati, a city of temples.

Guwahati is not complete if you haven’t visited North Guwahati, on the North Bank of the city. It is also one of the oldest partss of the city and on way, you can have a look of the mighty Saraighat Bridge above the Brahmaputra river. There are lots of time in there though the most important one is the Dol Govinda Mandir and the Dirgheswari Mandir which you must visit.

If you finish visiting these two temples by morning then try to visit HAJO, which is just 30kms From North Guwahati.

Day 3- Visiting  Manas National Park

Day three is meant to explore the rich bio-diversity of Assam and for which you need to visit the Manas National Park, a Tiger Reserve Project in Assam located in the Barpeta district of Assam. It is also a UNESCO Natural World Heritage Site.

It lies on the foothills of the Bhutan-Himalayas. It is an abode of endangered wildlife like the pygmy hog , golden langur, hispid hare and a large number of wild buffaloes and more importantly a tiger and elephant reserve . Enjoy watching the one-horned rhinoceros and huge biodiversity as you go for a safari around the reserve forest. Pre-book your stay as there are lots of resorts and cottages in Manas National Park where you can enjoy your stay amidst a dense forest. I have written a full detailed post on how to reach Manas National Park, you can read here- Incase you have plans to Manas National Park, you can skip Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary as the major attraction is the one-horned rhinoceros .

Day 4- Exploring Tezpur

The morning as you are back from Manas National Park, take some rest and get to enjoy the ancient culture, heritage, architecture of Assam in Tezpur. Tezpur which is 185 km away from Guwahati also has its roots in ancient Indian mythology like The Mahabharata. You can start for Tezpur directly from Manas National Park. As you reach Tezpur take some rest and you will get the evening which you can spend in the Ganesh Ghat which is a wonderful place to witness the sunset by the banks of the Brahmaputra.

Day 5-Interesting things to do in Tezpur

The next day wake  up early in the morning, grab your coffee and rush to the Agnigarh to enjoy the sunrise, next offer your prayers at the  Mahabhairava temple and enjoy the afternoon breeze in the Chitra lekha udyan (Coal Park) where you can see relics of the architecture of ancient Assam. In the evening get your bags packed to enjoy an exquisite elephant ride at the most famous Kaziranga National Park. Again I would suggest pre-booking your stay as by the time you will reach it will be dark and you can go and take some rest.

Day 6- Trip to Kaziranga National Park

Enjoy the morning elephant safari or perhaps a jeep safari in and around the Kaziranga National Park which is famous for its one-horned rhinoceros. Along with that enjoy other animals and birds as Kariranga is rich in wildlife. Also don’t forget to look out for tigers as I was too lucky to spot one during my last December’s trip to the National Park. You can read all about it and also some details related to Kaziranga , CLICK HERE.

Day 7- Visiting Sivasagar

Okay so now you are going to enter Upper Assam the place where maximum tea production and oil extraction takes places in Assam. The tea produced in Upper Assam has a delicious taste. Being born and brought up in Dibrugarh, also known as the Tea City of India I am addicted to tea. I love the aroma of tea, it refreshes my soul to the core. The nearest and one of the most important towns of Upper Assam to explore is Sivasagar. You need two days to see all around. The most important ones are the tanks – Joysagar tank, the Gaurisagar tank, the Joydol, the Shiva dol, the Dev idol. The Sivasagar town will give you every detail about the ancient culture, history and heritage of the Ahom dynasty – its rise and fall in Assam.

Day 8- Visiting Charaideo

30 km from Sivasagar,  which was the first capital of the Ahom kingdom established by the first Ahom king Chao Lung Siu-Ka-Pha in 1228. It is famous for the burial grounds of the ancient Kings and Queens of the Ahom dynasty and the tombs also called as Maidans bear resemblance to the Pyramids of Egypt and showcase the excellent architectural skills of the sculptors and masons of Medieval Assam.

Day 9 – Enroute Tea City, Dibrugarh

Early morning take a train or a bus and reach Dibrugarh, one of the oldest place of Assam famous for its tea gardens. Dibrugarh is one of the most important commercial centres in Upper Assam. It is also the gateway to other major tea-producing districts of Assam. Also, popular tourist destinations in Arunachal Pradesh like- Mechuka, Basar, Parashuram Kundo, are easily accessible from Dibrugarh. So if you are planning for a full trip of entire Northeast you can enter it via Dibrugarh.

While in Dibrugarh enjoy your journey as you can see acres and acres of land covered by lush green tea gardens. In Dibrugarh, you can visit the newly constructed and fast gaining popularity the Jagannath Temple and take a long ride along the longest bridge in India the Dhola –Sadiya bridge also called as Bhupen Hazarika Setu. You can skip this and instead visit the Dibru- Saikhowa National Park which is famous for spotting wild horses, a sight in itself watching them grazing, running and walking.

Day 10- End of your 10 days Itinerary for Assam

Take the evening flight or train from Dibrugarh to your destination as the Dibrugarh airport is connected to all important railway stations and airports of India. In the morning enjoy the town, grab your lunch and do some shopping in one of the oldest Tibetan Market of the state.

We have left out one of the important places of Assam , Majuli, the largest river island in the world. Majuli is a place which you need to explore with time and peace. At least three to four days as the place is far away and you need a ferry to reach. All that is time-consuming and cannot be adjusted within this 10 days itinerary. To explore Assam and visit the off-beat destinations which lie in the Dima Hasao districts of Assam, enjoy the culture and tradition of the numerous ethnic tribes of Assam at least 15-20 days are required. Assam is huge and along with its numerous tribal and ethnic groups, it is a place you must visit at least once in life.

Where to taste exotic Assamese and Other Ethnic Cuisine in Guwahati!

Since Guwahati is the Gateway to the other places of Assam, you must enjoy your leisure eating exotic Traditional Thalis at – HERITAGE kHORIKA, MICHINGA RESTAURANTin Uzan Bazar, PARADISE RESTAURANT in Silpukhuri, MISING KITCHEN.
