# 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).

Despite the camel-fair reputation, Pushkar in October is better than November
Pushkar is sold as a November destination — the Camel Fair, 50,000 camels. The NakshIQ score says October earns an identical 5/5 and gives you the version of Pushkar that existed before the fair. Same weather, fuller lake, a fraction of the crowd.
