Getaways from Guwahati | Lakes, Tiger Reserve, Trek, Water Falls & more
From 2017 to 2019, I was posted in my hometown, Guwahati and I used this time exploring nearby places during the weekends. As parents of a newborn, we had to limit trips of a longer duration and stuck to nearby places. I am going to list a few places which I visited with my family and good friends like Zubin and Pahar. In particular, Zubin would come up with names of places which I had not heard of before and we would just hop on to our cars and make a trip of it. I am listing a few places which might be of interest to people who are looking for a weekend getaway from Guwahati. I am going to leave out the usual suspects of Shillong, Cherrapunjee, Dawki etc. from this log.
