Assam, the gateway to the northeast has plenty to offer to tourists. Adventure enthusiasts can have a thrilling holiday trekking amidst the divergent topography of rugged hills and vast rolling river valleys. Trekking in Assam is no doubt a scintillating and romantic way to spend the vacation.
There is an unmistakable hypnotic charm and romantic appeal that draws tourists and adventure lovers to the hilly terrains of Assam. The hills and knolls of the famed Karbi Hills and North Cachar Hills are a trekker's paradise. Trekking and rock climbing in Assam opens up a treasure trove of sheer delights as majority of the trekking routes lie in the isolated countryside. Thus this is the ideal retreat for all those tourists who have the unquenchable wanderlust to explore the wilderness and whose itchy feet takes them to faraway lands away from the chaotic hustle and bustle and the raucous maddening crowds.
The rough and craggy mountainous landscapes make the rock hills of Morigaon District a hitchhiker's dream come true. Popularly known as the "Elephant Rocks", they provide ample opportunities for rock climbing. Apart from the picturesque "Elephant Rocks", the Simhasana Hill that dominates Karbi Anglong District's skyline is also another noted rock climbing spot. Assam's premier and busiest city, Guwahati, situated on the banks of the mighty Brahmaputra river is ironically encircled by stunning, lofty hills on three sides that offer an excellent scope for trekking in Assam.
