Namaste (ನಮಸ್ತೆ) in Kannada — same gesture as Hindi; Hege idira (ಹೇಗಿದ್ದೀರ) — 'how are you?' formal
Kaziranga National Park (3 hours from Guwahati) protects over two-thirds of the world's one-horned rhinoceroses — an elephant safari at dawn is one of India's greatest wildlife experiences. The Majuli River Island (accessed by ferry from Jorhat) is the world's largest river island and the cultural heartland of Assamese neo-Vaishnavism — its satras (monastery-temples) perform centuries-old mask dances year-round.
Bengaluru has India's most vibrant craft beer scene — the city has over 30 microbreweries. The MG Road and Brigade Road area is the nightlife core, but the quieter Indiranagar and Koramangala neighbourhoods have the best restaurants and bars. Lalbagh Botanical Garden (240 acres) hosts a spectacular flower show twice a year (Republic Day and Independence Day) in its Victorian glass house — outside show season, it's the city's most peaceful escape from the traffic.
🇮🇳 Assam Fun Fact
Assam produces over 50% of India's tea output — and 6% of global tea production. The Brahmaputra River, which flows through the state, is one of only a few rivers in the world classified as male in Hindu tradition. During the 2004 floods, the Brahmaputra was over 80 km wide in places. Assam is also one of only two regions in the world (the other being Kaziranga) where tigers, elephants, rhinos, and wild buffalo coexist in the wild.
🇮🇳 Bengaluru Fun Fact
Bengaluru hosts over 40% of India's IT exports, making it responsible for a significant share of the global technology services market. The city is also home to ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation) — which put a spacecraft in Mars orbit (Mangalyaan) on its first attempt in 2014 at a cost lower than the production budget of the Hollywood film Gravity. Bengaluru has more pubs per capita than any other Indian city.
