Assam
is the gateway to the

north-East
located between 900-960 East longitude and 24-38 North Latitude, Assam is
dominated by the mighty Brahmaputra river that has its origins in Tibet.
Indeed, a large part of the state is located in he narrow valley that the
rivers has created over the ages. The states population included a startling
mix of Dravisians and Aryans and Tibeto-Burmans.
Assam has drawn
people from diverse cultures and races in different points of time. They are
the colorful people, weaving fairy tales in dresses, singing and dancing in
clouds and sunshine of pastoral life, creating art out of life adding color
to itself.
Exotic denizens of the sylvan world add to the mystery
and charm of this weird land. Frolick of apes, graceful elephants,
fluttering of wings & singing of birds, migratory birds flying into the
hills, the majestic tiger enforcing his authority all invite you to carry
back home a little what the heaven is made of. The rhino emerges as if from
prehistory and treads the Kaziranga National park. And who can forget lush
green Tea gardens which beckon you to have a cup of fresh tea and enjoy the
enthralling music of life.
