The largest of the states in the northeast of India is Assam whose
capital, Guwahati, has an inspired location on the banks of the River
Brahmaputra. Amidst Assam’s verdant lushness are two important game
sanctuaries, Manas and Kaziranga, both best known for their population
of one horned Indian rhinoceros, a species that faced extinction. Much
of the rest of the state is devoted to tea plantation which yield the
strong Assam leaf popular all over the world.The state of Assam is
dominated by the mighty river Brahmaputra whose lush seven hundred
kilometers valley is sandwiched between the Himalayan foothills to the
north and the plateau of Meghalaya to the south. Although much of the
valley is under cultivation, large tracts of woodland make this one of
the most forested state in India. Assam the land of Mother Goddess
Kamakhya, lies in the northeast corner of the India. Assam produce more
than half of India's tea. The city of Guwahati is a busy town and
continues to be the main communication center for the whole northeast.
