Kamakhya Devi Temple Tour
A 3 day pilgrimage to Kamakhya Devi, one of the most revered Shakti Peeths, on Nilachal Hill in Guwahati. Hotels, an AC cab, darshan guidance and Guwahati sightseeing are all planned for you.
Kamakhya Devi Temple Tour Overview
The Kamakhya Devi Temple stands on Nilachal Hill in Guwahati, Assam, and is among the most important Shakti Peeths of India. It is also a major centre of Tantric worship. The temple complex includes shrines of the ten Mahavidyas, and the sanctum has a natural spring rather than an idol.
Our 3 day plan is simple: arrive, rest and see Guwahati's river sights, spend a full morning for Kamakhya darshan, then add the Navagraha, Umananda and Basistha Ashram. The temple has long queues on weekends, festivals and in the Navratri period, so we plan early starts and explain the entry options.
The Ambubachi Mela in June is a major festival when the temple is closed for a few days and then opens to huge crowds. If you want a quieter visit, October to April is better. You can also add Shillong, Kaziranga or Manas.
