About The Trip
Looking to explore an offbeat part of Assam near Guwahati? Come to Chandubi.
Switching enigmatic landscapes, natural grandeur, snaky roads and vast grassland just 65 km from Guwahati will make you question how something so astonishing can exist in a city's vicinity. Many people who live in Guwahati don’t know about the serenity of this place. It is where tourists take a backseat, and the area divulges one wonder at a time. If there were five words to describe this place, those would be Economical, Less time-taking, Serene, Close to nature and Authentic.
Ladies and gentlemen, it’s time to learn the traditional Vodka Making Process, prepare and taste Vodka, meet the indigenous Pati Rabha tribals, see the traditional cloth weaving process, visit Chandubi Lake, learn the Bamboo Jewellery Making Process, sway on the beats of the Bogejari Folk Dance.
We will savour local cuisine with 7+ dishes – twisted with flavours, all desi style. All dishes are traditionally cooked from local fish, country chicken, and herbs. Apart from meeting the tribals, we will take the Chandubi Village Walk and go to Chandubi Lake for a boating session. The lake is one of the nine lakes in Assam and is located at the foot of Garo Hills, formed in the 17th century after a massive earthquake watered by the Kulsi River. Listen to all the mystical stories about how this lake was christened.
We did this Lower Assam Exploration trip as a part of our Offbeat Exploration in the Northeast; since then, it has lived in our hearts. When we posted about this on our social media, it went viral, and we received multiple queries from people who wanted to do this. And so, we present to you – the Chandubi Two-Day Trip.
