Your wildlife adventure in Assam is incomplete without a visit to the UNESCO Heritage site awardee Kaziranga National Park and the small but captivating Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary! A combined visit to both these parks gives you a thorough idea not only about the wildlife, but also the different cultures of various tribes living together in the state and also a brief understanding about the history of Assam.

Our itinerary, along with the wildlife safaris includes a wholesome experience of Assam - the hospitality and culture of the people of Assam, the traditional food and their everyday life. We visit the famous Kamakhya Temple, museums, go on boat rides on the mighty Brahmaputra, explore the white sandbanks in the middle of the river, spot dolphins, walk inside the magnificent tea gardens and explore how the world's best tea is made. We also visit the local tribal villages to interact with the villagers, try out their local cuisines, enjoy their music and dance to the local tunes. We visit an Orchidarium to know about the various orchids found in these regions. We stay with wonderful hosts who welcome our guests with open arms and happy hearts.
