When it comes to activities, Assam offers visitors a plethora of options. Itis home to the most varying and colourful festivals, and its temples are unique in the most unexpected ways. Nature lovers and culture buffs will both find this state a fascinating place.

It would be worth your while to plan a trip around the time of the Rongali Utsav. This charming fair gives you a taste of Assam’s diverse culture, including its cuisine, which is exhibited in the Ahar Mela or food festival. If you haven’t experienced it before, the tea plantation stay is also a must-do. Besides the lush gardens and exhilarating weather, these estates have histories all their own, and are a throwback to another time.There are usually a lot of activities included to keep you busy, such as visits to tea auction centres and local markets, and often, there’s an informal cooking lesson with organic produce grown locally, and a teatime elephant trek which will leave you thrilled.
