This post is all about Adventure In Assam a state
from North-East, India. So, be ready for it…..
A Tough terrain had protected Assam from invaders
in the past. Today, it has made the state an incomparable outbound destination.
Since the late 1960s, diehard adventurers and
explorers in Assam have streamlined the activities to produce mountaineers,
rockclimbers, trekkers, cavers, hang-gliders and rafters. The state’s tallest
peak Hempieupit is perfect for trekking. Guwahati too offers some exciting
trekking routes and rock-climbing spots. A network of rivers, rivulets and
mountain streams make the region ideal for white water rafting, canoeing, kayaking
and other water sports.
Adventure across the
Northeast is incomplete without trekking through the deep forests, the thickest
in India. Hiking through the famed Kaziranga, Manas and Dibru-Saikhowa national
parks can be an unforgettable experience. One can add Meghalaya’s mysterious
stalactite and stalagmite caves to the itinerary. ATDC Ltd facilitates outbound
expeditions through organisations such as Assam Mountaineering Association of
1968 vintage.
Mountaineering: The Simhasana Hill in Karbi Anglong district and the
hills of adjoining Dima Hasao district are ideal for mountaineering and
rock-climbing. Some 50km east of Guwahati is Elephant Rocks ( Morigaon
district) that off ers ample scope for rock-climbing. Guwahati too has
rock-climbing destinations such as the 80ft Rohini Bhuyan Memorial Rock field
located at Japarigog within the Assam State Zoo, Bhubaneshwari above Kamakhya
Temple and Dirgheshwari (North Guwahati).
Trekking: Assam State Zoo has a trekking trail but the most popular
among trekkers is the 17km one from Basistha to Garbhanga Reserve Forest via
the hills of adjoining Meghalaya. For the more resilient, the trek can stretch
80km to Barapani in Meghalaya via Rani Reserve Forest. Among the most
convenient is the trek from Kaziranga National Park to Kukurakata Hills that
allows a panoramic view of the park. The trek is within an area of 4.5 sq km.
Horse-riding tours: Private operators such as Purvi Discovery organise
casual hack ride through tea gardens or an exhilarating sandy gallop on the banks
of river Brahmaputra in eastern Assam districts of Dibrugarh and Tinsukia. One
can also go for extended trail rides through forest reserves in the area.
Mountain biking: The hilly terrain off ers a very good challenge to
mountains bikers. Assam Tourism Department in collaboration with ATDC Ltd and
other adventure organizations have organized several bicycle and motorbike
rallies in and outside the state. Foreign individuals and groups have
participated in these.
Motorcycling tours:
Explore Assam and adjoining states in the Northeast through motorcycling tours
that often take riders to pristine rural settings and villages of ethnic
communities. A major part of these tours are off -road and through hills and
plains.
Parasailing: ATDC Ltd facilitates parasailing at Dalibari in North
Guwahati. The sandbars at Guwahati (during the annual Brahmaputra Beach
Festival) and near Dibru-Saikhowa National Park in eastern Assam are ideal
spots too. Private tour operators organise parasailing at Dibru-Saikhowa.
Boat racing: Speed fests similar to snakeboat racing in Kerala have
traditionally been organised during festivals in Guwahati, Hajo, Sualkuchi and
Barpeta. For kayaking and canoeing enthusiasts, one can head straight to
Charanbeel in Morigaon district, barely an hour’s drive from Guwahati. The
Assam Boat Racing and Rowing Association, together with the Department of
Tourism, also organises boat racing during the annual spring-time Brahmaputra
Beach Festival.
River Rafting: The Brahmaputra and its turbulent tributaries such as
Manas and Kopili dare adventurers with their swift current and fiery rapids.
But rafting is most organised at Jia Bhoroli, also a Brahmaputra tributary.
Angling: Jia Bhoroli, Kapili and Manas are the best places for angling.
The Jia Bhoroli river is home to the fierce game fish, the Golden Mahseer, or
tiger of the Himalayan rivers. An annual Angling competition is regularly
organised by Assam Bhoreli Anglers’ Association at Nameriat Jia Bhoroli where a
number of anglers both from outside the state as well as abroad participate
every year in November or December.
Camping: Eco Camp situated at the fringes of the
Nameri National Park is an avid camper's ideal getaway. Apart from birding,
trekking and angling, it offers local cuisines. Eco Camp has thatched tented
accommodation and equipment for rafting and angling. There are private resorts
in the vicinity too, offering tents, cottages and dormitory with basic facilities.
Bird-watching is a bonus for anglers and rafting enthusiasts who frequent
Nameri.
Similar camps organised by private parties at Dibru-Saikhowa National Park in Tinsukia district are embellished with ethnic flavours.
