Walk its back alleys and old quarters, however, and you will be able to salvage a generous amount of local flavour that lingers amid its suburban sprawl of ponds, palm trees, small single-storey traditional houses and old colonial-era mansions.
Evening enjoy Sunset River Cruise on the Brahmaputra River (Subjected to perational/weather conditions/water level)
