Cultural Assam: Visit During Bihu Festival Season

To experience Assam’s vibrant culture, plan your visit in April, when the Rongali Bihu festival takes place. This spring festival marks the Assamese New Year and is celebrated with traditional music, dance, and food. April also offers warm but pleasant weather, perfect for sightseeing and exploring rural life. Combine cultural experiences with visits to tea gardens and river cruises for a complete Assam tour. The winter months leading up to April (October–March) are also great for wildlife safaris and nature excursions. Avoid the rainy season, which hampers movement and closes many tourist sites. For a deep dive into Assamese life and spirit, April is a wonderful time.
