Boating in Assam

Assam, the gateway to picturesque and romantic locales of northeast India is a hub of exciting adventure sports. Tourists on an east and northeast Indian sojourn have a wonderful time as they make a stopover in Assam. Boating in Assam is indeed a rather pleasurable and exciting enjoyment option for tourists.

For tourists and families who would rather spend a relaxing vacation, nothing is better than lounging in the waters and feeling at one with nature. The sparkling waters of the lakes and water bodies that gleam like a mirage of quicksilver are the perfect evening hangout for tourists. They can hire a boat that takes them across the sylvan lakes and provides an opportunity to explore the open countryside on congenial spring evening as a balmy zephyr blows wisps of water that sting their face.

Dighalipukhuri, an eminent water body located in the epicenter of the bustling and chaotic Guwahati city provides the much-needed freshness to the raucous concrete jungle. Tourists visiting Assam go for a boating spree that takes them for a cruise across the turbulent waters of the Brahmaputra to the Balaji Temple at Jolporee , and the other noted parks, universities, oil refineries and planetariums in the vicinity.

Boating in Assam can also be made more enjoyable by taking a trip across the river to Majuli, the world's largest river island. The adventure enthusiasts seeking a bit of thrill and race of the adrenaline during every moment of life can participate in the festive boat races that take place at Barpeta, Guwahati, Hajo and Saulkuchi and equal the legendary boat races of Kerala in popularity as well as splendor.
