Assam Ranks 4th and Only Place from India in New York Times’ ‘52 Places to Go in 2025’ List

For wildlife enthusiasts, Kaziranga National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, offers a chance to see the endangered one-horned rhinoceros.

Assam, the gateway to Northeast India, has been ranked an impressive 4th on the New York Times’ prestigious list of ‘52 Places to Go in 2025.’ The recognition celebrates the state’s unspoiled natural beauty, rich cultural heritage, and historical monuments that date back thousands of years.

Described by the New York Times as a “remote, culturally distinct, and comparatively crowd-free region that hangs as if by a thread from the country’s mainland,” Assam offers an unparalleled experience for travellers seeking serenity and authenticity.

This accolade comes at a time when Assam is already making headlines globally. The Kaziranga National Park recently broke tourist footfall records, and the historic Charaideo Maidam has been included in United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)’s World Heritage List. The New York Times’ acknowledgment is set to further boost Assam’s growing prominence as a prime travel destination.

Assam is renowned for its world-class tea gardens, where some of the finest teas are cultivated. Visitors can immerse themselves in the serene beauty of lush estates and experience the intricate art of tea-making. For wildlife enthusiasts, Kaziranga National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, offers a chance to see the endangered one-horned rhinoceros, as well as diverse flora and fauna.

The state’s ancient temples, vibrant festivals, and the mighty Brahmaputra River add layers to its allure, making it a destination that seamlessly blends history, culture, and nature.
