Shillong Tour

Assam

6 Days 5 Nights

Overview

The best time to visit Assam, a state in northeastern India known for its lush tea gardens, wildlife, and cultural richness, largely depends on the experiences you seek and the specific regions you plan to explore within the state. Assam experiences three primary seasons: summer, monsoon, and winter.

The best time to visit Assam for most travelers seeking a comfortable and enjoyable experience is during the winter months from October to February. This period offers pleasant weather conditions, making it suitable for sightseeing, exploring the cultural richness, and enjoying the beautiful landscapes without the challenges posed by heavy rainfall or extreme heat.

However, if you're specifically interested in wildlife safaris in national parks, the summer season is the best time for visiting places like Kaziranga and Manas. The monsoon season can provide a unique experience for those interested in witnessing the lush greenery and cultural vibrancy amidst the rainy backdrop. Plan your visit to Assam based on your preferences and the type of experiences you wish to have during your trip.
