# Best Time to Visit Assam
Assam is tea, rhinos, and rivers. The Brahmaputra defines everything — when it floods, Assam shuts down. When it recedes, Kaziranga opens and Majuli emerges.
The Verdict
**October-March: 5/5** — Kaziranga opens (November). Majuli accessible. Tea gardens harvesting. Bihu festival (January). Clear skies. 15-25°C.
**April-May: 3/5** — Hot (30-38°C) but Kaziranga still open until May. Rongali Bihu (April) is the biggest festival.
**June-September (Monsoon): 1/5** — Brahmaputra floods. Kaziranga submerges. Majuli shrinks. Roads cut. Avoid entirely.
Key Destinations
Kaziranga: November-April (park closed June-October). Majuli: October-March. Guwahati: Year-round but best Oct-Mar. Manas NP: November-April. Tea estates: October-December (autumn flush, best quality).
