Barail Range
The highest mountain range in Assam, featuring dense tropical forests and sharp ridges.
Tea Gardens
Geometric patterns of emerald green tea estates that characterize the Brahmaputra valley.
Himalayan Horizon
On exceptionally clear days, the snow-capped peaks of Bhutan and Arunachal are visible.
Brahmaputra River
The massive, braided channels of one of Asia's great rivers during the descent.
The right side is the prime choice for morning flights to see the sun illuminating the hills. For the best chance to see the Himalayas, book a flight during the post-monsoon months of October to February when the air is cleanest and visibility is at its peak.
