Why November here
Every Northeast journey starts here: flights, trains, Kamakhya temple and the river.
Guwahati is where the Northeast connects: the region’s biggest airport and railway hub sits on the south bank of the Brahmaputra. The city’s own reasons to stay are Kamakhya Temple, one of the most important Shakta pilgrimage sites in India, the riverside ghats and a growing food-and-cafe scene.
Wildlife this month: Excellent wildlife conditions across all parks.
What to do
Kamakhya Temple
Hilltop Shakta temple, host of the June Ambubachi Mela.
The Brahmaputra
River cruises and sunset ghats in the middle of the city.
The launchpad
Kaziranga, Shillong, Majuli, Tawang: everything starts here.
