About Guwahati

Guwahati, the gateway to Northeast India, is the largest city in Assam, situated on the banks of the mighty Brahmaputra River. The city is a bustling commercial hub with a rich cultural and historical background. It is famous for the Kamakhya Temple, a revered Shakti Peeth perched on the Nilachal Hill, attracting countless pilgrims. The city also serves as a base for exploring the region's wildlife sanctuaries. A cruise on the Brahmaputra River, especially to the Umananda Temple on Peacock Island, offers a serene experience amidst the urban landscape.
