Festive Specials
One of the most beautiful cities in East India, Guwahati is the ideal place to wrap yourself in the exotic beaches, serene river islands, dense tropical forests, lovely natural lakes and rolling hills. Adding spirituality to the place are its numerous beehive shaped temples and the holy and mighty Brahmaputra. The place has everything to make you come back to it again and again. But the season which is most attractive here starts with Durga Puja, which brings in the season of celebration. You get a chance to have a glimpse of the real Assamese culture with Majuli Festival which follows closely in November. Assam Tea Festival held around the same time is a great experience for tea connoisseurs. Dehing Patkai Festival takes place in January and is marked by various sporting events. Plan a trip around this time to enjoy the most of Guwahati as the town bustles with life.
