2025 Assam Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in June)

Guwahati It seem like the elders in the society can never be wrong. They once named Guwahati Pragjyotishpur (Light of the East) and we believe that Guwahati has lived up to this title. It is the largest cosmopolitan city in the North East. Snuggling the turbulent Brahmaputra River and touching the feet of the Shillong plateau, Guwahati has been blessed with immense natural beauty that one can apparently witness, once one moves towards the suburbs of the city. Since, it is the centre of many alluring tourist destinations in Assam like Kaziranga National Park, Kamakhya Temple, Bamuni Lake, Umananda Temple and Sualkuchi, tourists have to pay a visit to this incredible place. Sualkuchi Find the best handloom work at Sualkuchi. Situated about 35kms from Guwahata, Sualkuchi is the pride of Assam. Visiting here can be an eclectic experience as at each house here one can find traditional bamboo looms. Known for silk weaving and making of some gorgeous Mekhla Chadars, (Traditional Women Attire), saris and shawls, the locals of Sualkuchi have simple traditional lives. Tezpur Abounding archaelogocal sites, deep mythological connection and beauty that can woo any nature lover, make Tezpur one of the best places to see in Assam. Situated in Sonitpur district, Tezpur is located at the bank of the River Brahmaputra. The city is often called the city of entarnel Romance as it narrates a love story of Usha (King Baana’s Daughter) and Anirudha (Grandson of Lord Krishna). The scenic beauty of Tezpur has been enhanced by the surrounding mountains of Arunachal Pradesh, the sprawling tea gardens, swiftly flowing Brahmaputra and the northern backdrop of snow-capped Himalayan peaks, which honestly make the city ever so romantic Jorhat Reckoned to be the Cultural Capital of Assam, Jorhat owes much to its history. It was the last capital of the Ahom Kingdom and thus has the last burial mounds of the empire. Today Jorhat has the largest Tea research station in the country and therefore it is now known as the Tea Capital of India Majuli A little of history and whole lot of nature makes Majuli the best place to visit in Assam. It is India largest riverline and is also one of the most important Satras established by Sankardeva and Madhavdeb. Formed by the turbulent Brahmaputra, Majuli islands sprawls over an area of approximately 452 sq km. Most of the islands in Majuli get submerged in water during monsoon; however, the bigger islands like Kamalabari, Auniati and Garamur remain in a better condition. Sivasagar Literally meaning The Ocean of Lord Shiva, Sivasagar is one of the popular tourist attractions in Assam. This Upper Assam city has served as the seat of the Ahom for over 6 centuries, so you can expect a lot of Ahom influence in the architecture and culture here. Sivasagar was reckoned as the Golden Land by the Ahoms, who by chance reached this gorgeous place and found it worthy enough to be their power seat.

#springitinerary The Annapurna Circuit is basically the ultimate hike if you wanna get lost in some of the most insane mountain scenery on the planet. It’s a long trek, yeah, but every step is packed with epic views, snow-capped peaks, deep valleys, and villages that feel like time forgot them. The trail winds through forests, crosses high passes, and offers a taste of real Nepalese mountain life with friendly locals and cozy teahouses. It’s challenging but doable if you take it slow and soak it all in. Plus, the vibe is super rewarding, waking up to sunrise over the Himalayas? Unreal. It’s the kind of adventure that sticks with you forever. Pack your layers, bring snacks, and get ready for some serious nature therapy. Annapurna Circuit is hiking magic, no joke.

#springwander Dawn breaks with golden light filtering through towering shade trees, illuminating women pluckers in colorful *gamchas* moving like synchronized dancers through waist-high bushes. The air carries an intoxicating mix of dewy grass, citrusy tea shoots, and the occasional whiff of *nahor* (ironwood) flowers from jungle fringes. By mid-morning, the gardens hum with activity—bullock carts laden with fresh leaves trundle toward factories where the *malty* aroma of withering leaves spills from open windows.
