Assam · Wildlife, River & Heritage
A private Assam tour package with Living Roots is built around the Brahmaputra: Kaziranga's rhino grasslands at dawn, Majuli's neo-Vaishnavite satras, Sivasagar's Ahom monuments, heritage tea bungalows in Jorhat and Dibrugarh, and slow river journeys few visitors ever see.
Route Focus
Assam's grasslands hold two-thirds of the world's one-horned rhinos, plus elephants, wild buffalo, swamp deer and over 480 bird species. We use the central, western and eastern ranges of Kaziranga strategically across multiple safaris.
Majuli is the world's largest river island and the cultural heart of Assamese neo-Vaishnavism. Ferry crossings, satra monasteries, Mishing stilt villages and mask-making artisans frame an unhurried, deeply local experience.
Stay in heritage planter bungalows in Jorhat and Dibrugarh, walk the bushes at dawn with a tea-taster, and trace the 600-year Ahom dynasty through Sivasagar's Rang Ghar, Talatal Ghar and royal tanks.
Sample Pace
Settle in along the Brahmaputra; evening visit to Kamakhya Temple and a quiet river sunset.
Two nights at a forest-edge lodge with morning jeep safaris in the Central and Western ranges, afternoon village walks and birding.
Cross the Brahmaputra by ferry, stay in a riverside cottage, visit satras at dawn, and meet Mishing weavers and mask-makers.
Heritage planter's bungalow, tea-factory walk and a half-day among the Ahom monuments at Sivasagar.
Continue to Arunachal Pradesh, fly out from Dibrugarh, or extend by Brahmaputra cruise.
