About Guwahati

Guwahati is Assam's largest city, on the Brahmaputra River, with hilltop temples, a river-island shrine and the gateway to Kaziranga and the north-east.

Guwahati spreads along the south bank of the Brahmaputra River, ringed by green hills, and is the gateway to India's north-east. On Nilachal Hill, the Kamakhya Temple is one of the most revered Shakta shrines in India and draws many pilgrims, especially at the Ambubachi festival in June. Umananda, a small Shiva temple, sits on Peacock Island in the middle of the river and is reached by ferry.
