Assam Trips

Assam is one of those places that has some destinations like Kaziranga, Manas and Nameri National parks that we include in many of our trips.  Once you have come this far it is well worth the while to go to these National Parks.

One of the best times to come to Assam is April during Rongali Bihu - in this time of year we can offer customized trips to stay in Assamese villages - giving you a real taste of rural Assam Life
