Famous for its tea and for silk production, Assam is one of India's least visited states, with far fewer people venturing to explore this fascinating area of North Eastern India.
The lack of visitors is a shame as Assam has some great attractions, not least of which is the mighty Brahmaputra River. Less well known than the Ganges, the Brahmaputra is one of Asia's major rivers and flows right through Assam into Bangladesh and down to the Bay of Bengal.
Assam is also an excellent wildlife destination and Kaziranga National Park is home to tigers, elephant and the one-horned Indian rhino which has been saved from the brink of extinction in Assam.
