Sivasagar in March
Assam, India
Go in early March — Bihu energy energises the Ahom heartland and temperatures stay manageable, but arrive before late-month heat intensifies.
Peak crowds
March is one of Sivasagar's busiest months. The score rates conditions — weather, access, value — not how many people you'll share them with. Ahom dynasty heritage site in Assam peaks Oct–Mar post-monsoon; monsoon Jun–Aug is quietest.
March brings Rongali Bihu energy to Sivasagar — the Ahom heartland celebrates spring like it invented it.
The March story
Bihu dances at village grounds, rice beer flowing, and 600-year-old monuments as the backdrop. History lives here.
