Assam is a
beautiful land of red river and blue hills, green
tea and black oil, rarest of flora and fauna, exotic
wild life and a cultural heritage of India. The
original name of Assam was Asom. The Ahoms ruled
Assam for more than six hundred years till the 19th
century.
With its great sensitivity to the nature, Assam is
aptly referred to as the place of Red Rivers and
Blue mountains. Today's Assam is an all new meeting
place of times past, times present and times future.
It is an indeed an amazing amalgamation of tradition
and culture, style and splendour, warmth and
feelings, beauty and nature, comfort and
convenience... virtually everything the modern
tourist could expect, to sooth his thirst for
natural beauty.
Few other places in India look as fresh and vibrant
as Assam with so much of greenery, cool and
soothing, lush and luring. Assam is identified by
its Bihu songs and dances, the Kaziranga Wild Life
Sanctuary where the rare one-horned rhinoceros roams
at will and silks such as 'paat' and 'muga' which
rank amongst the finest in the world. The state's
tea, which finds its way to millions of homes all
over the globe and the Shrine of Kamakhya which,
draws thousands of devotees every year. Assam is the
land of wooded hills and vales. With Brahmaputra
river meandering through, sprawling tea gardens,
enticing songs and dances, fine silks, the state is
a must on the itinerary of international as well as
Indian tourists. Each place of the Assam has
something celestial and amazing diversity to offer.
Journey through this land is bound to stir up your
mind and stimulate you to see more, learn more. Many
call it a land of magic and ethreal. Some call it a
green paradise. As the most vibrant part of the
North Eastern India, Assam combines so many and such
varied passions and beauties that one has to take a
pause atleast for its praise. People have always
been drawn here. It is a wonderful place to live in
and to celebrate the colourful festivals of all
seasons.
The unspoilt hilly terrains of the state are ideal
for hiking and trekking and numerous waterways with
rapidly cascading falls offer magnificent
opportunity for adventure tourism like boating,
sailing, rafting, canoeing and kiaking.
