Assam is the gateway to the North East. Guwahati has the Kamakhya temple and the Brahmaputra; Kaziranga National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, protects most of the world’s one-horned rhinos along with tigers, elephants and wild buffalo.
Kaziranga safaris run only in the dry season, so plan between November and April.
