1.      Asharikandi

Situated in the district of Dhubri, Asharikandi village welcomes you with beautiful views and terracotta vibes. The village has only about 200 families, but almost all of them are engaged in pottery and terracotta work for generations. It is famous for Hatima dolls and horse-shaped figurines. When you visit this village, you can see the stories of the artisans infusing life into the wet clay on an earthen wheel.

2.      Chandubi

Chandubi Lake is just 2 2-hour drive away from Guwahati. One interesting fact about Chandubi Lake is that it was formed during the dangerous earthquakes of 1897. The lake is in the lap of dense forests and the Garo hills, making it perfect for canoe rides, birdwatching, or a peaceful picnic with loved ones. Along the banks of the Chandubi Lake, there live a few families that offer traditional Assamese thalis.

3.      Biswanath Ghat

Another famous place of Assam worth visiting is the Biswanath Ghat. Set on the banks of the mighty Brahmaputra, Biswanath Ghat is also known as the Gupta Kashi of Assam for its historic Shiva temples and its scattered ruins. The riverfront offers boat riding and picnic facilities for travellers to experience a slice of riverside life.

4.       Mayong

One of the most unique tourist spots in Assam is Mayong, famously known as the ‘Land of Black Magic’. The place got its name from ancient manuscripts that described mystical rituals being practised. If you decide to visit Mayong, do include Mayong Central Museum and Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary in your itinerary.  

5.      Jatinga

Situated in the Dima Hasao district, Jatinga is one of the must-visit places in Assam. This place offers a unique experience where migratory birds are disoriented by fog and wind, causing them to descend during certain nights and die from September to November. Beyond this, the pine-shaded paths, cool breeze, and a serene environment invite you to experience the warmth of the local Khasi community.
