Places to visit Nearby Guwahati

Sualkuchi: Assam produces three unique varieties of silks: the Golden Muga, the White Pat and the warm Eri Silks, that are grown all over the state and find their way to Sualkuchi, 32 kms from Guwahati. Sualkuchi is one of the world's largest weaving villages often called the Manchester of the East. The entire population here is engaged in weaving exquisite silk fabrics. A renowned centre of silk production, particularly known for Muga - the golden silk of Assam which is not produced anywhere else in the world.

Manas National Park: A tiger reserve and a world heritage site, the park harbours more than 20 endangered species and is famous for its unique scenic beauty. About 130 km north to Guwahati, the Manas National Park gives you the opportunity to take a peak at Bhutan which is across the Manas river flowing through the national park. Manas is famous for birding activities, elephant rides and river rafting in the pristine Manas river. There are several hotels, bed and breakfasts and even resorts right at the gates of Manas National Park. You can visit the official website of Manas National Park for details.

Kaziranga National Park: Kaziranga National Park is a world heritage site where the major attraction includes close look at rhino, swamp deer, thousands of local and migratory birds flocking in wetlands and the scenic beauty of Karbi Anglong Hills. Kaziranga is about 200 km east to Guwahati. Road trip to Kaziranga in itself is a wonderful ride flanked by rice fields and betel nut trees on either side of the road. The national park is not open to tourists for about five months from April to October as a precaution due to warning of floods. December is perhaps the best time to visit the Kaziranga national park as the climate is mild and dry. The chances of spotting rhinos are more in winter as the grass burn off and the background becomes clearer. You can visit the official website of Kaziranga National Park for details.

Upper Majuli is inhabited by tribes like the Mising and the Deoris and is the centre of a living heritage of colourful costumes and festivals. Plenty of migratory birds of great varieties are also seen. For more information, visit this website.
