Assam · Northeast India
Assam
Tea gardens, wildlife and the slow, generous rhythm of the Brahmaputra.
Why this destination
What Assam is really like
Assam is the gateway to the Northeast. Kaziranga's rhinos, Majuli's river island culture and the endless tea estates make it a complete destination in itself.
We often combine it with Meghalaya or Arunachal for a longer Northeast journey.
