Mark my word no one will touch you. Many Pakistanis coming to India every year on medical ground or to visit their ancestral home. No one touches them.

10 Best Tourist Destinations in Assam
By Nidhi Singh
Assam gets you wondering! It truly does! Catching the eyes of nature lovers and adventure enthusiasts, Assam is an absolute delight! AND if boasting is not a sin may I say that even the veteran photographers have put Assam in their Good Books! This North Eastern state flaunts its natural beauty and its ever so delightful culture. The tribal traditions, the sprawling tea gardens, the riverine islands, the Satras, abundant wildlife, majestic Brahmaputra, exotic Bihu dance, fragrant cuisine and gorgeous people are the true identity of this amazing destination called Assam. It is one of those places in India that gives you the notion that the country is absolutely diverse and filled with colours that the world has no clue about! Here is the list of best places to visit in Assam that will help you explore more about this Golden Land:
Guwahati:
It seem like the elders in the society can never be wrong. They once named Guwahati Pragjyotishpur (Light of the East) and we believe that Guwahati has lived up to this title. It is the largest cosmopolitan city in the North East and is often referred to as the Gateway of North East India as well. Snuggling the turbulent Brahmaputra River and touching the feet of the Shillong plateau, Guwahati has been blessed with immense natural beauty that one can apparently witness, once one moves towards the suburbs of the city. Since, it is the centre of many alluring tourist destinations in Assam like Kaziranga National Park, Kamakhya Temple, Bamuni Lake, Umananda Temple and Sualkuchi, tourists have to pay a visit to this incredible place.
Sualkuchi:
Find the best handloom work at Sualkuchi. Situated about 35kms from Guwahata, Sualkuchi is the pride of Assam. Visiting here can be an eclectic experience as at each house here one can find traditional bamboo looms. Known for silk weaving and making of some gorgeous Mekhla Chadars, (Traditional Women Attire), saris and shawls, the locals of Sualkuchi have simple traditional lives. It is one of a kind place, where tourists have the opportunity to witness the lifestyle of the natives and interact with them. The rustic setting and the nature’s beauty further add to the attraction of this lovely place.
Hajo:
Sheer divinity is the identity of Hajo. Situated at a distance of about 24kms from Guwahati, Hajo can rightly be called the pilgrimage city. Dotted with a number of Hindu temples, Hajo invites all to taste the flavour of utmost spirituality. Among the famous Hindu shrines in Hajo are Hayagriva Madhab Temple on Manikuta Hill, Kedareshwar Temple and Ganesha Temple. On the other hand Muslims also rever Hajo as a holy place and come here to pay homage at Powa Mecca. Buddhists see Hajo as a pious place where Lord Buddha attained Parinirvana. Hajo or precisely Sarthebari is famous for its bell metal items and when you are there, make sure you buy at least a souvenir. Whether you believe in religion or not, you will love to see this holy destination in Assam, which defnitely has the capability to change your perspective towards spirituality.
Tezpur:
Abounding archaelogocal sites, deep mythological connection and beauty that can woo any nature lover, make Tezpur one of the best places to see in Assam. Situated in Sonitpur district, Tezpur is located at the bank of the River Brahmaputra. The city is often called the City of Eternal Romance as it narrates a love story of Usha (King Baana’s Daughter) and Anirudha (Grandson of Lord Krishna). The scenic beauty of Tezpur has been enhanced by the surrounding mountains of Arunachal Pradesh, the sprawling tea gardens, swiftly flowing Brahmaputra and the northern backdrop of snow-capped Himalayan peaks, which honestly make the city ever so romantic. Bamuni Hill, Agnigarh, Cole Park, Mahabhairab Temple, Hazara Pukhuri and Bhomoraguri are the major attractions in the city. Tezpur can be an ideal honeymoon destination in Assam, the kinds that will amplify the power of Love.

Jorhat:
Reckoned to be the Cultural Capital of Assam, Jorhat owes much to its history. It was the last capital of the Ahom Kingdom and thus has the last burial mounds of the empire.

A little of history and whole lot of nature makes Majuli the best place to visit in Assam.

Majuli is a birdwatcher’s paradise and the camera wielders are simply going to get hooked to this place. Holiday in Assam is incomplete without paying a visit to this impeccable destination. With almost no hotels, Majuli is a one of its kind place that you will visit in India. Homestays are the only option here, but during the stay one gets the chance to witness the lifestyle of the people of Majuli.
