Guwahati – The Gateway to the Northeast
Nestled on the banks of the mighty Brahmaputra River, Guwahati is the vibrant cultural and spiritual hub of Assam and a welcoming gateway to the entire Northeast of India. Blending ancient temples, riverfront beauty, and modern urban charm, Guwahati offers a unique travel experience where tradition meets progress. The city’s most iconic landmark is the revered Kamakhya Temple, perched atop Nilachal Hill. One of the 51 Shakti Peethas, it attracts pilgrims and spiritual seekers from all over the country. From here, you can enjoy sweeping views of the city and the river below. Another spiritual gem is the Umananda Temple, located on Peacock Island, which can be reached by a short boat ride across the Brahmaputra. Nature and wildlife lovers can explore the Assam State Zoo, Botanical Garden, or take a scenic cruise along the Brahmaputra during sunset, offering mesmerizing views and moments of tranquility. The city also serves as the base to explore the rich biodiversity of Kaziranga National Park and Manas Wildlife Sanctuary, both UNESCO World Heritage Sites, located just a few hours away. Guwahati is also a shopper’s delight with its traditional Assamese silk sarees, bamboo handicrafts, and local tea.
