Popular Guwahati Tour Packages

Places to visit in Guwahati

Guwahati has its share of temples and wildlife sanctuaries. Temples like the Kamakhya Temple, where people celebrate the Goddess’ menstrual cycle or Umananda Island, which is the smallest river island in the world. Here are some of our recommendations that will help you plan your Guwahati tour.

Kamakhya Temple

This is one of the most revered places of worship in Assam. One of the four important ‘Shakti Peethas’ across the country, it celebrates a woman’s fertility and her ability to give birth. This will be one of the most unusual attractions in your Guwahati trip package.

Assam State Museum

Set up in 1940, this extensive museum exhibits some of the oldest and the rarest artefacts found in the region. The museum’s exhibits, some as old as 5th century, offer a peek into the region’s history. For history buffs, this will be the best part of our Guwahati packages.

Umananda Island

Right in the middle of the mighty Brahmaputra River sits the world’s smallest river island. Home to the Umananda Shiva Temple, it is also known as Peacock Island. There's a climb of 100 steps to reach the temple. Usually a serene place of worship, it takes on a festive air during Mahashivratri.

Guwahati Zoo

If you cannot make it to the Kaziranga National Park, visit the Guwahati Zoo. Besides the majestic one-horned rhino, it also houses some exotic animals like giraffes, ostriches and kangaroos. A part of many Guwahati holiday packages, this is a must-visit attraction.

Fancy Bazaar

Located near the city’s railway station, Fancy Bazaar is the retail hub of Guwahati. It is a vibrant place that is alive with the sights, sounds and smells of a buzzing marketplace. It is a good place to buy souvenirs and taste the local street food.

The best time to visit Guwahati

Visit Guwahati between October and March, during the winter season. Not only can you enjoy the pleasant weather, but you can also enjoy the local festivals. The temperatures average between 5°C to 15°C, which makes for a perfect sightseeing weather. The extreme heat in summer and the heavy rains in the monsoon rule out these two seasons for a Guwahati tour.

How to reach Guwahati

It is surprisingly easy to reach Guwahati by air, rail and road, especially from West Bengal. The city’s Lokapriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport is well-connected with the rest of the country with a regular schedule of flights. Guwahati Railway Station, which is an important railhead for further places like Arunachal Pradesh, receives trains from all major cities. If you wish to take the road, you’ll find a number of options such as private taxis and state-run bus services.
