Experience a 14-day Assam wildlife tour from Jorhat to Guwahati covering Majuli, Kaziranga, Nameri, Pobitora and Manas with safaris, rhinos, river dolphins, tea gardens and tribal culture.
Day-by-Day Travel Plan
Tour Overview
Assam rarely gets the attention it deserves, and this 14 Days Assam Wildlife Tour Package sets out to fix that, moving from Jorhat's tea gardens across the river island of Majuli, deep into the grasslands of Kaziranga, through Nameri's forests, and on to Guwahati, Pobitora and Manas. It is built around wildlife sightings, river dolphins, tribal villages and tea estates in roughly equal measure, so no single day feels repetitive even with three national parks on the route.
Duration: 14 Days / 13 Nights Route: Jorhat → Majuli Island → Kaziranga National Park → Nameri National Park → Guwahati → Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary → Manas National Park → Guwahati Starting Point: Jorhat Airport | Ending Point: Guwahati Airport Best Time to Travel: November to April
Day 1: Arrival in Jorhat
Your driver meets you at Jorhat Airport and the trip begins from there. Once settled into the hotel, head out to one of Assam's well-known tea estates for a walk through the plantation and a proper tea tasting session, a good introduction to the industry that shapes so much of the state's landscape. In the evening, wander Jorhat's local market and try some genuine Assamese snacks and street food. Overnight: Jorhat
Day 2: Jorhat to Majuli Island
An early start takes you to Nimati Ghat, where a ferry carries you across the Brahmaputra to Majuli, widely regarded as the largest inhabited river island in the world. The island's Vaishnavite Satras are worth spending real time in, monasteries where monks still practise traditional mask making and preserve centuries-old customs. A walk through Mishing tribal villages offers a look at rural Assamese life that feels a world away from the mainland. Evening brings a cultural show of traditional music and dance. Overnight: Majuli
Day 3: Majuli to Kaziranga National Park
Ferry back to the mainland after breakfast and drive to Kaziranga, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the last strongholds of the one-horned rhinoceros. Check into a wildlife resort surrounded by forest, and use the evening for a guided walk around the buffer zone, with an optional Bihu folk performance capping the night. Overnight: Kaziranga
Day 4: Kaziranga Jeep Safari and Birdwatching
An early jeep safari through the Central Range gives you the best odds of spotting the one-horned rhinoceros, along with elephants, wild water buffalo and swamp deer, and tigers if luck is on your side. The afternoon shifts to birdwatching around the park's wetlands, followed by a stop at a nearby tea garden. Overnight: Kaziranga
Day 5: Elephant Safari and Orchid Park
A morning elephant safari brings you closer to the wildlife than a jeep ever could. Afterwards, the Kaziranga Orchid and Biodiversity Park houses hundreds of orchid varieties alongside medicinal plants and small cultural displays, a nice slower-paced counterpoint to the safaris. Overnight: Kaziranga
Day 6: Eastern Range Safari and Village Visit
Kaziranga's Eastern Range has a reputation for strong birdlife and reliable elephant sightings. The afternoon moves away from wildlife entirely with a visit to an Assamese village, where locals demonstrate traditional weaving and talk through daily farming life. A cultural performance closes out the evening. Overnight: Kaziranga
Day 7: Kaziranga to Nameri National Park
A scenic drive through the countryside brings you to Nameri, where you check into an eco-lodge before taking a quiet walk along the Jia Bhoroli River, a spot known for its birdlife and calm riverside scenery. Overnight: Nameri
Day 8: Nameri to Guwahati
Morning birdwatching, with optional rafting on the Jia Bhoroli River for those wanting something more active. From there, drive to Guwahati for a Brahmaputra River cruise built around spotting the endangered Gangetic River dolphin before visiting Kamakhya Temple, one of the most significant Shakti Peethas in the country. Overnight: Guwahati
Day 9: Guwahati to Pobitora and Manas National Park
Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary, known for having one of the highest concentrations of one-horned rhinos anywhere, is the morning's highlight reached via jeep safari. From there, continue to Manas National Park, another UNESCO-listed reserve near the Bhutan border. Overnight: Manas
Day 10: Manas Jeep Safari and Birdwatching
A full day inside Manas, home to golden langurs, elephants, wild buffalo, tigers and reportedly over 450 bird species. Few parks in India pack this much biodiversity into one reserve. Overnight: Manas
Day 11: Elephant Safari and Bodo Village Experience
An early elephant safari followed by an optional river safari if conditions allow. In the afternoon, visit nearby Bodo tribal villages to learn about local handicrafts and customs that have persisted here for generations. Overnight: Manas
Day 12: Nature Trail and Cultural Evening
A guided forest walk focused on smaller details, butterflies, flora, and birdlife offers a change of pace from the jeep safaris. Spend the afternoon on wildlife photography before a traditional cultural programme in the evening. Overnight: Manas
Day 13: Manas to Guwahati
Drive back to Guwahati and visit Umananda Temple, set on Peacock Island in the middle of the Brahmaputra. Round off the day at Fancy Bazaar for shopping, followed by a street food walk through the city's local delicacies. Overnight: Guwahati
Day 14: Departure from Guwahati
After breakfast and check-out, transfer to Guwahati Airport for your onward flight, taking with you two weeks of rhinos, river dolphins, tea gardens and tribal culture that few Assam Wildlife Tour itineraries manage to fit into a single trip.
Cost depends on group size.
