Early flight from Hyderabad to Guwahati to maximise sightseeing time; many carriers run a morning service (may be direct or via a short connection). Book an early flight to arrive late morning.
One of Assam's most important Shakti shrines with panoramic views over the Brahmaputra; temple hours commonly 5:00–12:00 and 3:00–7:30pm — plan visits in open hours and modest dress is required.
Try a popular local restaurant for Assamese specialities (fish curry, rice, local greens); many good options near the city centre and the Brahmaputra riverside.
Short ferry trip to Umananda (one of the world’s smallest river islands) and a walk around the temple there; ferries typically run 9:00–16:00 depending on season and river conditions.
