The breathtaking loveliness of this region is hidden in its mountains and the hills, flowing rivers and the innocence of the animals pacifying in its jungles. The magnificent beauty of Assam is failing to catch the eye of many tourists in our own country due to the militant and political disturbances persisting in the area. But nevertheless, Assam is visited by many foreigners who appreciate its efforts of conserving many endangered species of animals, birds and plants. They come all the way to visit Kaziranga National Park, the only home to the one-horn rhinoceros. The Asian elephants and many other varieties of birds and animals have chosen to reside here too. This state is blessed by all the realms of nature and has abundance of greenery and water. The Brahmaputra River provides enough water to the farmer’s fields here. Also, the famous Kamakhya temple in Guwahati is believed to be a sacred and holy place for many people.
A photographer taking a walk in the surroundings can’t miss the sight of the beautiful and multicolored, migrant birds and butterflies. And for all those tea lovers out there, Assam tea is a must have! In fact, the intoxicating fragrance of the tea leaves can fill the nostrils of any passersby and leave him mesmerised. The lush green tea gardens are the trademarks of this very state.
Assam is the perfect place for a nature lover, a photographer and any person who loves to take off sometime from their daily, sedentary lifestyles. It can heal a person in the arms of Mother Nature which is still free from the dark and intense pollution of the metropolitan cities. It definitely doesn’t have high-rise fancy buildings but, it has unfailingly preserved its forests, flora and fauna. It is an unexplored place which protects too many hidden secrets!
