About this experience
Guwahati’s best sights sit along the Brahmaputra, and a day with a car strings them together without haggling at every stop. We start at Kamakhya Temple on Nilachal Hill, then take the ferry from Uzan Bazar to Umananda, the small temple island in mid-river, and ride the ropeway across the Brahmaputra to North Guwahati and back.
The afternoon is yours to shape with the driver: Basistha Ashram, the Assam State Museum, Dighalipukhuri or shopping for silk in Fancy Bazar. End by the river for sunset, or add our Brahmaputra sunset cruise.
