Showcasing a striking contrast of the traditional values and modernisation, Guwahati or 'Pragjyotishpur' is the famed capital city of Assam. While in one hand, the city is considered to be an important pilgrim centre for the Hindus, on the other hand, its electric and warm ambience makes it a tourism hotspot.
The Gateway to the North-East India, this city is well connected to other states and cities in the North-East. Owing to this fact, the city witnesses a large number of national as well as international tourists every year.
While the city itself offers a delightful list of tourist attractions like the Kamakhya Temple and others, it also offers several other destinations around its premises. The much acclaimed Kaziranga National Park, Majuli, Mana National Park, Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary, Hajo, Shillong and Deepor Beel, Hajo are some of the must visit places to visit near Guwahati.
