Assam Tourism Packages

Assam tourism packages primarily include some of the best archaeological sites, wildlife sanctuary, and the amazing tea plantations. The capital of Assam, Dispur, is a beautiful place to visit if you want to experience city life. 

Fun fact: For more than a hundred years, the capital of Assam used to be Shillong that is based in the modern state of Meghalaya. In 1972, this was changed to Dispur, a suburb of Guwahati, after Meghalaya became a separate state of India.

Two of the most talked-about tourist attractions of Assam are the Kaziranga National Park (known for conserving endangered species like one-horned rhinoceros) and Manas National Park. Both these sites have been declared World Heritage Sites by UNESCO.

The state is known to receive more rainfall as compared to other parts of India. This helps the Sal tree forests bloom and make the state look a bright shade of green all year round. The rain also feeds the Brahmaputra River which is the ninth largest and the 15th longest river in the world.
