Assam Tour Overview
Assam lies along the Brahmaputra river in the North East. Guwahati, the main city and gateway, has the Kamakhya Temple, one of the Shakti Peethas, and the Umananda temple on a river island.

Travel Tips for Assam
- Pick the season. November to April is the best time. Kaziranga and Manas are closed in the monsoon, and floods can affect roads.
- Book safaris early. Seats in Kaziranga are limited. A valid photo ID is needed, and sightings are never guaranteed.
- Plan Kamakhya timings. The temple is very crowded in festival months. We plan an early visit and guide you on the queue.
- Allow for long drives. Guwahati to Kaziranga is about 200 km and takes around 5 hours. Upper Assam routes are longer.
- Check ferry timings. Majuli ferries run on a fixed schedule and depend on the river level.
- Carry mosquito repellent. The wetlands and tea gardens are humid and have insects. Light cotton clothes and a rain jacket help.
- Carry some cash. Cards and UPI work in cities, but villages, ferries and small shops may prefer cash.
- Carry photo ID. Every traveller should keep a valid ID for hotel check-in, safari and entry tickets.
This is a likely schedule. The tour manager may adjust it for weather, road conditions or local rules.
