Mumbai Insider Tip

Bargain at markets. The local train is the city's lifeblood — rush hour is not for the faint-hearted.

Assam Insider Tip

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.

🇮🇳 Mumbai Fun Fact

Mumbai's Dharavi is one of the most productive slums in the world, generating over $1 billion annually.

🇮🇳 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.
