Assam is the gateway
to the north-East located between 900-960 East
longitude and 24-38 North Latitude, Assam is dominated
by the mighty Brahmaputra river that has its origins
in Tibet. Indeed, a large part of the state is
located in he narrow valley that the rivers has
created over the ages. The states population included
a startling mix of Dravisians and Aryans and Tibeto-Burmans.
Assam has drawn people from diverse cultures
and races in different points of time. They are
the colorful people, weaving fairy tales in dresses,
singing and dancing in clouds and sunshine of
pastoral life, creating art out of life adding
color to itself.
Exotic denizens of the sylvan world add to the
mystery and charm of this weird land. Frolick
of apes, graceful elephants, fluttering of wings
& singing of birds, migratory birds flying
into the hills, the majestic tiger enforcing his
authority all invite you to carry back home a
little what the heaven is made of. The rhino emerges
as if from prehistory and treads the Kaziranga
National park. And who can forget lush green Tea
gardens which beckon you to have a cup of fresh
tea and enjoy the enthralling music of life.
Best season: February to May
