Assam Travel Guide
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.
