Best areas

For temple visits, stay near Paltan Bazaar for easy access to transport. Uzan Bazaar offers a traditional Assamese experience with river views. GS Road is convenient for shopping and modern amenities.

Booking tips

Hotel prices are generally lower during the monsoon season (June to September). Book in advance if travelling during Ambubachi Mela at Kamakhya Temple in June, as accommodation fills up quickly. Look for hotels with good reviews for cleanliness and service.

Food to try

Try Assamese thalis for a complete meal with rice, fish, and vegetables. Sample pitha, traditional rice cakes, for breakfast or snacks. Look for restaurants serving tenga, a sour fish curry made with local ingredients.

Getting around

App-based cabs are readily available and convenient. Auto-rickshaws are good for short distances but negotiate the fare beforehand. Consider renting a car if you plan to explore nearby attractions outside the city.
