Dominated by the mighty River Brahmaputra, Assam is the biggest and most accessible of the Northeast States. This vast, lush valley is sandwiched between the Himalayan foothills to the north and the Meghalayan hills and plateau to the south.
Assam has a cuisine with its own distinctive aromas and flavours and the state is carpeted by plantations, forests and paddy fields. A host of elegant Hindu temples, exotic dance forms, picturesque landscapes of golden-green vista,jigsaw-like rice fields and manicured tea estates and the distant blue mountains of Arunachal all make Assam an enchanting and thoroughly fulfilling destination to visit.
