  • Assam - the very mention of this word brings to one’s mind the delightful blend of culture, heritage, faiths and beliefs of the innumerous ethnic tribes and sub-tribes residing in this region. In fact, a mention of the rich tradition of the state, without referring to the diverse lifestyle, arts-crafts, fairs and festival of the people residing therein, would be as good as incomplete. Assam is gifted with lush green meadows, fertile plains, the enormous Brahmaputra River, the beautiful hills, the Blue Mountains, the wonderful looking tea plantations, the rich flora and fauna.
