Step into the living history of Guwahati on a guided heritage walk through its oldest neighbourhoods, where ancient legends, medieval remnants, and colonial-era architecture still shape the city’s character.
This curated experience takes you through atmospheric lanes, riverside ghats, and lesser-known heritage corners that most visitors miss. You’ll hear the story of Pragjyotishpur, the historic capital of the Kamarupa kingdom, and see how Guwahati evolved over centuries; through dynasties, trade, and faith. Along the route, we highlight key architectural details, local narratives, and “hidden spots” that reveal the soul of old Guwahati.
Expect plenty of photo opportunities, and a well-paced walk that feels immersive rather than rushed. Perfect for curious travellers, culture lovers, architecture enthusiasts, and anyone who wants to understand Guwahati beyond the surface.
