Guwahati Tour Packages

About Guwahati Tourism: The largest city in Assam and the biggest metropolis of North-East India, Guwahati is an incredible destination to visit. Often referred to as the “Gateway to the North-East,” it is famous for sacred sites, astronomical centres, the Brahmaputra river, the capital Dispur and other attractions. Holidify provides a chance to explore this wonderful city with its numerous Guwahati tour packages, which can be customised to suit your needs.

Since Guwahati is situated along the Brahmaputra River, cruises are quite popular here. A romantic cruise across the river would be great; enjoy a lovely dinner while watching the sunset. The city is predominantly known for sacred sites like the Kamakhya Temple, Umananda Temple, Navagraha Temple and Basistha Ashram.

Kamakhya Temple is Guwahati’s most significant temple as well as a tourist attraction. Dedicated to Goddess Shakti, this shrine is one of four Shakti Peethas (temples said to have the highest powers of divinity) in India and is known to celebrate a woman’s ability to give birth.

A trip to Guwahati means that you must pay a visit to Guwahati Zoo, where you would be able to see several endangered species like white tigers, one-horned rhinos and swamp tapirs. And if you want to see more of the region’s wildlife, drive about an hour away to the Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary, housing one-horned rhinos, leopards, barking deer and numerous migratory birds.

The Guwahati Planetarium is a must-visit attraction when on a trip to the city, as is the Regional Science Centre. To understand the significance of art and culture in the city and state, you must go to the Srimanta Shankardeva Kalakshetra. You can find local handicrafts at Uzan Bazaar.

The best time to plan a trip to Guwahati is between October and April, when the weather is pleasant. You can stay in hotels, inns, homestays etc. 2-3 are enough to explore the majority of the city. To provide you with an unforgettable experience, Guwahati travel packages also include other destinations like the Kaziranga National Park, Shillong and Bomdila.

Kaziranga National Park houses the world’s largest population of one-horned rhinos; you can go for a day or night safari to spot species like the ferruginous duck, Asiatic elephant, tiger etc. Bomdila in Arunachal Pradesh is a stunning town known for its apple orchards, Eaglenest Wildlife Sanctuary and Bomdila Monastery. You would love the view of misty mountains from R.R Hill and Bomdila View Point.

Another destination to visit when travelling to Guwahati is Shillong in Meghalaya. The cascading Elephant Falls are a sight to behold, while Umiam Lake is ideal for watching the sunset and for picnics. In addition, you can go trekking through the Laitlum Canyons, hike up to Shillong Peak or drive down to Mawsynram, the world’s wettest place.
