Rupsi recorded a 502 percent year-on-year surge in flight searches among Indian travellers, securing the second spot on Skyscanner's 2027 trending list. This trend reflects a growing interest in lesser-known locations offering wildlife forests, royal heritage, and cultural discovery.
Visitors can explore Raimona National Park for wildlife like golden langurs, visit the Matiabagh Royal Palace in Gauripur, and see the historic Gurudwara Sri Guru Teg Bahadur Sahib Ji in Dhubri. Other notable spots include Mahamaya Dham, the terracotta craft village of Asharikandi, and Saralpara near the Bhutan border.
October to April is generally a practical window for visiting western Assam, as the cooler months are better suited for sightseeing and outdoor excursions.
