Assam

ASSAM --"The Economic Gateway of the State of Mizoram , Manipur and Tripura with Dispur as capital in Guwahati city, is a unrevealed , richest biodiversity zones in the world and consists of tropical rainforests. Guwahati has 200 years of history. River Brahmaputra- the life-line of ASSAM is a paleo-river ,older than Himalayas, with steep gorges rapids in the state.
                                                                                               
Assam is one of the wettest places of the country. It is the land of tea gardens. The cultural heritage of Assam makes it a crucible of cultures.  Assam is the last refugee for numerous endangered species such as Golden langoor, White-winged woodduck, Bengal florican, black -breasted parrot bill, Piggy hog etc. Assam is also known for orchids. Hence large numbers of National Parks and wild life sanctuaries flourish here. National parks like Kaziranga and Manas--the UNESCO world heritage sites, Nameri, Orang , Dibru-sai khowa national parks are known for their endangered species and various wild sanctuaries include Gibbon, Bornodi, Nambor, Laokhowa.
                                                                                               
Coming to the piligrimage and archoelogical value of Assam, its no way lesser to any other place in India. One can have most pacifying and levelling experiences travelling in Assam. The temples and mosques of Assam are probably the architecturally most stunning in entire  North-East India.Assam is still an important Budhist destination. Temples like Kamakhya temple on Neelchal Parvat on outskirts of Guwahati dedicated to Goddess Shakti, is the greatest shrine among "Tantrik Shaktism" in entire India. Other temples like sri Purva Tirupati Balaji Temple at Lokhra Betkuchi, Shivadol , one of the highest Shiva temple in India, Sukresava temple at Guwahati.Various mosques include Dargah of Ajan Pir , Poa Mehta at Hajo. Visiting these places surely gives u a peaceful mind.              
                                                                                                
The most picturesque and serene places in Assam, give splendid remembrances.Haflong hill station,where one can see the rainbow down below, Nilachal at Guhawati known as "Blue mountains", Onguri and Bamuni Hills at Tejpur and  Chapanalla, Sivakunda waterfills in Amsoihills etc are the most scenic.
                               
To make a note, "Jatinga" famous for the unexplained phenomenon of migratory birds "committing mass suicide" is only 9kms from Haflong. Majuli Island, the worlds largest river island in midst of river Brahmaputra is surely spectacular. Sunset in diburu river is worth seeing.
                               
Thus travelling in Assam definitely leaves you a memorable and unique experience  and gives you a feeling, "Yes !! i visited the "Paradise Unreaveled"!!!"
