Assam the rich, green land of rolling plains and dense forests is the gateway
to the north eastern part of India. The mighty Brahmaputra river that has
its origins in Tibet charts its majestic course through this state.
This mystic land of eternal blue hills and beautiful rivers is renowned for its tea, rich flora and fauna, the world famous one horned
rhinoceros
and other rare species of wildlife on the verge of extinction. Barring Africa,
there is perhaps no part of the world where such a variety of wildlife exists.
Situated between 90-96 degree East Longitute and 24-28 degree North Latitude, Assam is bordered in the North and East by the Kingdom of Bhutan and Arunachal Pradesh. Along the south lies Nagaland, Manipur and Mizoram. Meghalaya lies to her South-West, Bengal and Bangladesh to her West.
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.
Places to See
Kaziranga
The Kaziranga National Park is the only National Park in the State situated
in central Assam with an area of 430sq. km. It is the home of the great
Indian one horned Rhinoceros (Unicornis). The landscape of Kaziranga is
of sheer forest, tall elephant grass, rugged reeds, mellow marshes and shallow
pools. Kaziranga has a history of its own. Lady Curzon first heard about
the Rhinos of Kaziranga from her British tea planter friends and came to
Assam in 1904-05. Although she could not see the animal, she spotted hoof
prints with three toes and believed that such an animal did exist. On her
return, she persuaded lord Curzon to do something to save this animal from
total annihilation.
Guwahati
Guwahati has several places of historical interest. Perhaps the biggest attraction is the Kamakhya Temple atop Nilachal hill, where the Goddess Kamakhya is worshipped and which commands a majestic view of the city and the river. Guwahati is the commercial capital of the North east. Its markets are busy and noisy and well stocked, especially with local handicraft sand handloom for handicraft item include the State Government department store, Pragiyotika at Ambari as well as many privately owned shops in Pan Bazar and Fancy Bazar, two of the main commercial markets, that sell a range of items- from muga silk to bell metal, canework to woollen shawls and elegant Naga and Manipur jackets.
