Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma shared an Assam itinerary clip on his social media account, X, on the occasion of World Tourism Day, which is celebrated every year on September 27.
Sarma began with the Kamakhya Temple, one of Assam's most revered Shakti Peethas, and Batadrava Than in Nagaon, which is associated with Srimanta Sankardeva, the 15th-century saint-scholar and founder of the Vaishnavite movement in Assam.
Majuli Island, located on the Brahmaputra, is known for its Satras and distinctive cultural traditions, while Umrangso Lake and Haflong showcase the scenic beauty of Assam's hill regions. Panimur, known for its waterfalls and rocky landscape, is another natural attraction.
For history and heritage enthusiasts, the list includes the Ahom Gallery, Siva Dol, Rang Ghar and Charaideo Moidams, which reflect Assam's Ahom-era legacy. Lachit Borphukan's Maidam also commemorates the celebrated Ahom general.
Wildlife Destinations In Assam
Wildlife destinations such as Kaziranga National Park, Manas National Park and Dibru-Saikhowa National Park offer opportunities to explore Assam's rich biodiversity. The list also features Jatinga, Mayong, Suryapahar, Hajo, Sualkuchi, Gauripur and Khaspur, each known for distinct cultural, historical or natural attractions.
From the spiritual significance of Kamakhya and Hajo to Majuli's cultural heritage and the landscapes of Haflong and Umrangso, these destinations present different facets of Assam.
