    Golaghat and Nagaon district of Assam which
    about 217 kilometres from Guwahati. The best
    time to visit the park is from November to
    March.
    Sivasagar
     Sivasagar was the seat of Ahom kingdom for

    Guwahati
     The Capital of Assam and the biggest city in
    North-East India, serves as the major gateway
    to the whole region. The major tourist spot of
    Guwahati are Kamakhya Temple River Cruise on
    the river Brahmaputra, Sankardev Kalakhetra,
    Umanada Temple, Accoland, Shilpagram etc.
    Chandubi Lake, Sonapur, Madan Kamdev,
    Chandrapur are other famous spots at the
    outskirts the city.
    Majuli
     Majuli, the largest pollution free fresh water
    river Island in the world a treasure island of
    culture, Majuli is a land of varied culture of
    different tribes like misings, Deori, Chutias,
    Sonowal kacharies, which have enriched the
    entire Assamese culture. The cultural festivals
    celebrated by the different tribes as well as the
    Vishnava Satras founded by Srimanta
    Sankardev are the major attractions of Majuli.
    Tezpur

    Scope of Ecotourism in Assam
     Ecotourism is a form of tourism that involves
    visiting natural areas-in the remote wilderness
    or rural environments. Ecotourism is
    responsible for travel to natural areas which
    conserves the environment and improves the
    welfare of local people. In Assam, there are
    many NGOs which are doing various activities to
    promote the Ecotourism in Assam and also
    providing employment opportunities to
    unemployed youths, such as Ecotourism Society
    of North-East India.
    Conclusion
     Assam is still not yet been able to lead in the
    tourism sector of India like Goa, Rajasthan and
    Kerala despite having lots of natural beauties,
    historical monuments and rich culture. The main
    reason behind this is that Government of Assam
    is not taking necessary measures like those
    above mentioned states. Hope one day Assam
    will be one of the leading tourist hot spots of
    the world.
    Thank You
