Discover Assam with BlissScapes
Discover Guwahati: Where Your Northeast Journey Begins
Guwahati, often the first stop when traveling to Northeast India, offers a fascinating mix of history, culture, and natural beauty. As you land in this vibrant city, start with a visit to the renowned Kamakhya Temple, one of the most important pilgrimage sites in India, perched on the Nilachal Hills. You can also take a serene boat ride on the Brahmaputra River, enjoy the city views, and witness stunning sunsets. Beyond temples, Guwahati offers unique experiences such as exploring the local markets for Muga silk and Eri silk, both of which are integral to Assam's rich textile heritage. BlissScapes can guide you through these cultural treasures, ensuring you experience the best of Guwahati.
For a deeper cultural immersion, visit the Assam State Museum or explore the bustling Paltan Bazar for a glimpse into the city’s daily life. Guwahati is also the perfect place to sample the famous Assam tea, with several tea estates nearby offering tours and tastings. For nature lovers, a quick trip to Kaziranga National Park or Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary will introduce you to the famous one-horned rhinoceros and the region’s rich biodiversity. Guwahati is not just a transit point; it's a place full of discoveries, setting the tone for your entire Northeast adventure with BlissScapes.
Assam’s Wild Escapes: Kaziranga, Manas & Nameri
Assam's wildlife treasures come alive in its iconic national parks—Kaziranga, Manas, and Nameri—each offering unique and unforgettable wildlife experiences. A journey from Guwahati to any of these parks presents an opportunity to witness the region’s stunning natural beauty, with scenic views of sprawling tea gardens lining the roads, their vibrant green fields stretching as far as the eye can see. Assam is a paradise for wildlife lovers, offering three distinct safari experiences:
Kaziranga National Park: A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Kaziranga is famous for its dense population of one-horned rhinoceroses, alongside tigers, elephants, and wild water buffaloes. Jeep safaris and elephant rides here give you a close-up encounter with these magnificent creatures.
Manas National Park: A biosphere reserve and a tiger reserve, Manas offers a wilder, less-touristy experience with stunning landscapes and rare species like the golden langur and pygmy hog. If you choose the central zone for your safari, you can even explore a bit of Bhutan, adding an international touch to your adventure. The river safari here is a must for birdwatchers.
Nameri National Park: Perfect for those who love nature beyond the usual jeep safaris, Nameri offers guided forest walks, river rafting, and birdwatching. It’s an ideal spot for adventure seekers looking for an immersive jungle experience.
