Classic Assam

Guwahati, Brahmaputra Cruise, Balipara, Kaziranga, Jorhat

Brief

In the foothills of the Eastern Himalaya, Assam stretches across the floodplains of the mighty River Brahmaputra. Wild rhinos roam the grasslands. Emerald green tea plantations carpet the land. All along the Brahmaputra, age-old customs thrive on river islands. 


A luxury river cruise will take you from a silk weavers’ village to sacred hilltop shrines. In the vibrant city of Guwahati, you’ll visit the famous Kamakhya Temple and little shops filled with local bamboo crafts. Jeep safaris and wilderness walks introduce you to grand national parks and protected reserves like Kaziranga and Pobitora. Incredibly rare creatures call this wilderness home, and if you’re lucky, you’ll spot the magnificently armoured one-horned rhinoceros and the tiny treetop-dwelling hoolock gibbon. From wilderness to tea gardens, Assam’s nature is its bounty. Experience the charm of life on a tea estate, where you stay in a heritage bungalow, rise with birdsong and wind down with sundowners under the stars. And wherever you are in Assam, you’re never too far from a fabulous cup of robust Assamese tea.
