8 Malls in Guwahati For Shopping, Food and Entertainment!

Sitting on the banks of the mighty Bramhaputra River, Guwahati is the capital of Assam and has always been a popular tourist destination, especially in the region of the 7 sisters. When you hear about north-east, Guwahati is the first thing one would think about and why not.

After all, it has some big names like Kaziranga National Park, Kamakhya temple, the traditional festival of Bihu and, of course, who can forget the great Assam tea! And the city is not only about these, but in terms of shopping as well Guwahati never disappoints.

One can visit the local market to get a taste of authenticity and can visit the big shopping malls to meet the rest of their needs. One can shop for silk and traditional clothes and handmade products, which are exported nationally and abroad, as well. Guwahati was the very first city in Assam to develop in terms of big shopping malls compared to rest of North East.

This is the reason why you'll find people from Shillong, Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland and other neighboring states in this area just for shopping. Guwahati is slowly catching up with the pace of metro cities in terms of globalization and shopping experience.
