Guwahati in June
Assam, India
Brahmaputra flooding makes transport unreliable and swamps key sites during peak mela season
June monsoon hits hard. The Brahmaputra begins flooding. But Ambubachi Mela at Kamakhya Temple draws millions of devotees for 4 days.
The June story
June is for Ambubachi Mela pilgrims only — the tantric fertility festival at Kamakhya is one of India's most intense spiritual experiences. Not conventional tourism. Flooding affects low-lying areas.
