Guwahati is located in the North
Eastern part of India. It is the capital of the state of Assam. Assam is known
for its cuisine, Tea and Temples.
Guwahati is a bustling city with people from all cultures. It is the
biggest city in North East India. The city serves as a hub for supplies to
other small North Eastern states of India. The North East part of India is a
hidden gem. For years, this area struggled to attract tourists, but now
tourists from other parts of India and Asia are flocking here. The city is
famous for its spiritual feel as it has some very famous Temples. People who
love Tea know that Assam Tea is World famous. In fact, Assam Tea is exported
all over the World. Guwahati is a medium sized city and has a few attractions
which make it a nice and beautiful city.
Guwahati is a city with small
number of attractions. Getting around is fine. You have to depend on local
buses, Taxis and Rickshaws. Attractions are a little far from each other, so
travelling time is more. Main attractions in Guwahati include Umananda Temple,
Kamakhya Temple, Navagraha Temple, Temples of Hajo, Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary,
Assam State Zoo, Chandubi Lake and Paltan Bazaar. Guwahati can be easily
explored in a day. The Wildlife Sanctuary may require an additional day, but 2
days are enough.
Food is exotic in Assam. You will
find some of the best Bengali and Assamese cuisine here. Apart from that, a lot
of North Indian and South Indian Restaurants are available in Guwahati.
International cuisine is hard to find here. If you are travelling from Europe
or North America, you have to settle with the local Indian cuisine. Tea is
world famous here. Don’t forget to try it out.
Shopping is decent in Guwahati.
It is not as big as Delhi or Mumbai. Mostly you will find local made goods and
Indian Brands. International Brands are hard to find. We didn’t find anything
appealing other than Tea and Spices. There are numerous varieties of Tea and
Spices here. Thus, if you want to Shop, shop for Tea and Spices.
Guwahati is a fairly connected
city. It has an International Airport, but not with many Flights. Mostly it is
served by Domestic Flights. We would advise you to land in Kolkata and make a
Domestic connection. Kolkata is a well connected International Airport. For
Indian Travelers, Flights and Trains are available from all over India. If you
have extra days, visit Shillong as it is just a 2-hour Drive Hill station in
the state of Meghalaya.
So, pack your bags and leave for
a vacation to Guwahati…...
