2. Dibrugarh
After visiting Haflong it is time to research some wonderful tea gardens of Assam Lush green pastures and adventurous dense forests, this high range place is a fantasyland out of fairy tales. I made the decision to explore the first tea garden at the Assam Chabua property. Most small and large tea estates are sprinkled around this region. The major tea factories and employees plucking tea leaves at a little bucket tied in their heads is a frequent scene in this area. Assam tea is famous particularly for black tea and its powerful aroma. You can even go for a tea tasting tour in Assam. Visit us for Dibrugarh Tour Package.
3. Digboi
After the tea garden see it’s time to explore the oil field in Assam. I led to Digboi that is just 84 Km away from Dibrugarh.
I was astonished to see the very first refinery in Asia Digboi Oil refinery and also the beautiful museum where older artifacts associated with the petroleum plant and antique things are kept preciously.
4. Tai-Phake village
Tai Phakey village or Namphake village is situated 37 kilometers from Dibrugarh. My second stop was the Namphake monastery one of the earliest monasteries in Assam. That keeps and decorated auspiciously from the community which originates from Myanmar from the 18th century practicing their culture, habits, and dress in its ancient glory. You may even test mouth-watering Thai food here or elect for a night stay in an eco-camp or homestay.
5. Sivsagar
It had been the bygone capital of the Ahom dynasty. Dotted with a number of old palaces, temples, ponds, and amphitheater throughout the right time of Ahom dynasty is still sprinkled everywhere in its original glory. This city is attractive to carry you right back. Few Important monuments from Sivsagar are Rang Ghar, Kareng Ghar, Talatal Ghar, Joysagar Tank, Sivsagar Tank, etc.
I devote a fabulous day here sitting on the bank of Sivasagar Tank (Borpukhuri) watching fish and eating food. You can glimpse the buildings on the opposite banks of the pond such as a tiny miniature city. I can witness the densely populated temples from the complex.
Another most interesting place worth a trip in Sivsagar is Charaideo Maidam situated 30km from Sibsagar city. This really can be the burial ground of Ahom kings and queens. It’s a myth that the sailors of kings and queens also buried living together in the madam to help the departed king after death.
6. Majuli
It’s time to visit the most exciting area in Assam. Crossing the mighty Brahmaputra by ferry can take you to Majuli Island. With the Assam Holiday Package, you can explore the best destinations in Assam.
To begin with, we visit Aunisti satra, the largest satra in Majuli with over 300 (Vakats) disciples. Afterward we see Garmur satra, Kamalabari Satra, and the mask makers Satra Samurai. Mask-making art is a most special art from practicing only with a bunch of monks in Samaguri satra which grabs everyone’s fascination with its unique way.
While in Majuli it’s mandatory to find a devotional dance performance and dance play. The time we see was November before the beginning of the Raas festival in Majuli. We appreciated the rehearsal for your Raas festival by Mothers of all ages.
Besides Satras, the vibrant green rice fields, lakes full of a large number of avifauna, and scenic settings are captivating to make you spellbound.
7. Kaziranga National Park
Located 194 km from Guwahati and 252 kilometers from Dibrugarh, Kaziranga National park would be the prime attraction in Assam. When we hit Kaziranga, a feeling of calmness touches my mind. Away from bustling city life, it is a tranquil place surrounded by tea gardens and forest.
Complete Kaziranga Tour Packages trip with a Jeep Safari as well as an Elephant Safari from the jungle. We spent the afternoon on a trip to Kaziranga Orchid Park and little the chilly night enjoying a bonfire and watching the local dancing performance. Though my heart craved for longer and cried from inside saying I wish to stay longer here but because of lack of time I have to leave such heaven.
8. Guwahati
It’s a riverine city flecked with many temples.
If I state Guwahati is a frequent city just like any other contemporary city in India, I can’t justify the virtues of Guwahati city. So I have to list it in a few of the fascinating towns in India. The nighttime is the most charming in Guwahati and when it’s accompanied by a gentle drizzle then you lost yourself. I forget all of my laziness by enjoying such a beautiful evening sitting around the bank of the Brahmaputra River.
I spend the entire day seeing Assam state museum, Umananda temple (the temple situated on a little island), and also Kamakhya temple. Kamakhya temple can be found on top of a little hill. Book North East India Tour and enjoy the scenic view of the entire city.
9. Manas National Park
Located 140 km from Guwahati, Manas national park is still just another charming federal park in Assam. It is not much commercialized as Kaziranga but you can delight in staying at a wild hotel inside Manas National Park. It is possible to listen to the giggle of the river passing by and observe the sound of creatures at night. It’s an out-of-the-world encounter.
The night we spent Manas was the very exciting one. We stayed in a bungalow in the park. It is called Mathanguri Forest Lodge constructed during the Britishers period. My Safari in the park was also very exciting. We saw peacocks dancing beautifully in their whole grandeur and a herd of wild elephants which become very furious after missing one baby elephant. They hunt for the baby here and there in complete distress. Afterward, we spot the young goddess a few kilometers away looking tirelessly to find their family. All these innocent stories forced me to go back to the jungle again and again.
