Bed and Breakfast Guwahati Adds a Personal Touch

[Bhupendra Singh]

For several decades, Assam has been the passage to the north-eastern region, popularly called as part of the Seven Sisters State. Serving as the capital of the beautiful hill state, Guwahati is one of the fastest growing cities in India. Today, the city is more than just tea plantations with a flourishing center for business, tourism, and trade.

Unlike the old times where there was no connection by rail or air, Guwahati now enjoys regular well-connected transport services with expanding trade and tourism. The central government has realized Guwahati’s potential and has gone to the extent of declaring it as the “solar city of the north-east”.

Beautiful tea gardens and romantic breakfast amidst the captivating sunrise and sunset can be enjoyed with bed and breakfast in Guwahati. The Tourism board of Assam also offers several packages that promotes and facilitate tourism in these lush green valleys. Subsequently, accommodation in Guwahati is not difficult either, as numerous hotels have come up with exciting packages and excellent hospitality services.

Ranging from 5-star hotels to simple guest rooms, these accommodations are a delight to stay in. Apart from the quality stay, the hotels also have a serene view from the balconies. One might just be awestruck with the location of these hotels as avenues of huge trees and breathtaking roads are common. Heaters are provided round the clock, given the colder temperatures in the valley during the rainy season and winters.

Apart from a medical assistance, a baby sitter is also present to help parents have a romantic date together. Pickup and drop services from airport or railways are provided by the hotels. All one needs to do is to inform the hotel authorities of the same, prior to their visit. Apart from the hotel cars, public transportation is well within the reach of these hotels.

Business and beautiful hills apart, Guwahati is also famous for its pilgrimage centers. Kamakhya Temple and Umananda Temple attract several thousands of people from India not just for the deities, but for the architectural marvels that these temples exhibit.

Assam State Zoo cum Botanical Garden, Assam state museum, DiporBil and Srimanta Sankardev Kalakshetra are the tourist haunts in Guwahati that have a huge role to play in attracting tourists, year after year.

One might think just the tea is famous in Assam. However, visiting the restaurants in Assam would dispel that notion. Round the clock multi-cuisine restaurants make sure that the customers get food to their liking. Furthermore, more than a dozen diners are within the proximity of the accommodation in Guwahati. Tasting the local cuisine, one would have to agree that the Assamese are geniuses in cooking both vegetarian and non-vegetarian delicacies, and their fish preparations are simply delicious.
