I
am glad to know that the Directorate of
Tourism is coming out with a travel guide
book titled ‘Aparup Assam’ on the occasion
of World Tourism Day on September 27, 2021
to promote less explored destinations of
Assam, with special emphasis on rural and
agriculture tourism.
As the travel guide book is an effort to provide
comprehensive information on history,
geography, climate, flora, fauna of less visited
destinations of Assam, it is imperative that the
book would prove to be an invaluable guide for
the travellers and tourists to discover newer
places and witness the enchanting beauty of
the State. Moreover, Assam’s tourism circuit
would also be expanded with tourists visiting less explored destinations with the help
of this guide book.
I extend my best wishes to Directorate of Tourism for the endeavour and hope that
‘Aparup Assam’ would be able to achieve the desired goals.

t gives me immense pleasure that the Directorate
of Tourism, Assam has decided to publish “Aparup
Assam - The lesser known destinations” on the
occasion of World Tourism Day. I’m confident that
this book will serve as a comprehensive guide to
all visitors to this wonderful land that is abundant
in natural beauty and has a rich and varied cultural
heritage — much of which still remains undiscovered
by the world.
One of the fastest growing industries next to that of
the IT industry is the tourism sector. With better connectivity across the globe, people
wanting to know more about different cultures and lands, and with a rise in disposable
incomes, the tourism sector had been witnessing a consistent growth until the global
COVID-19 pandemic induced restrictions came into play.
Assam too wasn’t far behind, with the state witnessing a consistent rise in the inflow
of both domestic and international tourists.
As with all challenges bringing newer opportunities, the Assam Government has
decided to explore newer methods to augmenting the tourism sector. It is committed
to taking advantage of this period to develop tourism infrastructure and also explore
newer avenues of showcasing its heritage, culture and natural beauty to the domestic
and global traveller. The tourism department is equally committed to implementing
the various capacity building and infrastructure development schemes announced by
the government to bolster the industry.
My best wishes to all the stakeholders of the tourism sector, and I’m confident that all
tourists will find this book to be an all-encompassing guide to Assam.

ssam is known for its pristine beauty. Though
the unprecedented COVID 19 pandemic has its
cascading effect on Assam; our state of course
has shown tremendous resilience to make a turnaround
of the pandemic’s social and economic impact. Let this
World Tourism Day mark the journey of recovery and
re-invent the silver lining.
Our tourism, one of the mainstays of our economy
is already on its course of recovery. In this backdrop, celebrations of World
Tourism Day with the theme Tourism for Inclusive Growth argues well for the
state as well as the tourism enthusiasts. Our endeavour during the celebrations
will primarily be to project our ‘Aparup Assam’ and permeate into our ‘Lesser
Known Destinations’ that our Asomi Aai is famous for. It will definitely
accelerate the journey to explore the unexplored destinations of our states.
Let us all join hands to celebrate the World Tourism Day to encourage more
footfalls for Awesome Assam.

From the
Director’s
Tourism, Assam
Desk
T
he varied geographical setting, the topography, the history of its people,
the variety of ethnic communities, their rich heritage and lifestyle, the
flora, fauna, and the avian life, make Assam, a kaleidoscopic collage of
boundless possibilities.
This land of red river and blue hills, steeped in the rhythm of its own stride is no
less than a paradise. A part of it had been explored but a lot remains to be seen
and understood. In this sense, Assam is no less than a mini India, exhibiting the
glory of Unity in Diversity.
We are living in unprecedented times. In the last hundred years, humanity has
never faced a crisis as devastating as Covid 19 pandemic. Millions of jobs were
put at risk, a large number of small and mid-sized enterprises struggled to
survive, and the world as a whole found itself staring at a bleak and uncertain
future.
Tourism is among the industries that have been hardest hit by the pandemic.
With international and domestic travel coming to a standstill, the losses accrued
by the industry are staggering. Assam too with the rest of the world had to bear
this uncomfortable burden of stagnancy and decline. The department within its
limits had extended every possible helping hand to the stakeholders. The main
challenge was to keep everyone associated with the industry motivated and in
the best of the belief that, things would change and it would change for the
better.
About a year and a half into the pandemic, we can say that the tourism
stakeholders of our state had displayed a great sense of resilience. They have

14
not only stood their ground in these difficult times but exhibited a deep-seated
belief in the tourism potential of the state.
Though the situation with regard to the pandemic is still evolving, it is about time
that we chart a course towards recovery. The Directorate with consultation
with industry experts had zeroed on a threefold approach to achieve this aim
–First, improve traveller confidence; second, understand and track new market
trends and the drivers of demand; and third, commit to building more resilient
and inclusive tourism sectors, leveraging renewed interest in sustainability.
The keyword here is sustainability. Tourism perhaps is the only sector that
can sustain, preserve and promote what is local and indigenous. It creates an
awareness and a sense of belonging for individuals, within the folds of one’s
culture, community, and environment.
Embracing what the past has taught us and moving forward, it is time that we
start rebuilding our future, brick by brick, dream by dream. We expect a surge in
domestic and international tourist inflow as pandemic-related restrictions are
eased around the world. But it would be naive to expect a substantial increase.
This is where “Aparup Assam” comes into the picture.
The Tourist Guide Book containing the lesser-known destinations of Assam,
would no doubt encourage tourists from other parts of India and abroad to visit
our state, but it will also motivate people belonging to Assam itself, to explore
and experience the nearby districts and places. This will add momentum to the
wheels of Assam Tourism, and get it ready and rolling. It may be noted that the
list of destinations mention in the Guide book is not comprehensive enough. We
propose to keep on updating it as and when necessary.
Last but not the least, Assam carries in itself a great human and environmental
legacy going back a million years, which we are duty-bound to protect and
preserve. It is necessary that the world knows, experiences, and understands
this beautiful state. Only then we can say that Assam is unparallel, Assam is
Awesome.

a tribal village
K etetong, a Singpho tribal village is located on the banks of the Buri Dehing river
near Margherita in Tinsukia district. In Singpho language, Ket means “brick”
and Tong means “scattered” and the name of the village has been coined with the
amalgamation of these words.
The village is a vibrant display of the multihued Singpho tradition and customs, their
dresses and food delicacies .The Ketetong Buddhist Monastery nearby is sure to leave
tourist entharalled. The Singpho are believed to be India’s first tea drinkers and it was
the Singpho King Bessa Gaum, who introduced tea to Robert Bruce in the year 1823.
The “Phalap” is a unique handmade brew of the Singphos. The traditional method is to
process the tea by first heating the leaves in a metal pan until they turn brown, and then
it is sun-dried for a few days. The sun-dried leaves are tightly packed in bamboo hollows
and smoked over a fire. In a week’s time, the processed tea hardens. It is then preserved
for up to 10 years and small portions are sliced off each time to prepare a fresh cup of
tea. Like wine, the tea matures with time and gives a golden-orange colour. The organic
and traditional method of preparation retains its medicinal value. The phalap and a
traditional Singpho meal is a pleasant experience for a tourist.

 Typical Assamese Thali
Indigenous
cuisines of Assam
T
he confluence of varied cultural influences in the Assam valley has led to the
staggering variety and flavours in Assamese food. Much like the geographical
diversity of the land, the authentic Assamese dishes are extensive and has its own
league in the culinary world. It involves a style of cooking that is a confluence of cooking
habits of the hills that favour both fermentation and drying, and those from the plains that
provide fresh vegetables and an abundance of fish and meat. Both are centred on the main
ingredient — rice.
A mixture of indigenous styles with considerable regional variations and some external
influences, the traditional way of Assamese cooking is similar to those of several other
South-East Asian countries. Owing to the abundance in the region, Assamese cuisine is
characterized by the use of an extremely wide variety of plant as well as animal products.
It is characterized by very little use of spices and strong flavours, due mainly to the use of
these endemic exotic fruits, vegetables, meat and fish. The exotic taste of the herbs, rustic
feel of the dishes and a distinctive character is what drives the Assamese food.
