- The short ferry to Umananda, a tiny river island with a temple.
- An evening walk on the Uzan Bazaar riverfront.
Culture
- The Assam State Museum.
- Srimanta Sankaradeva Kalakshetra and Shilpagram for arts and crafts.
- A visit to the Kamakhya temple on Nilachal Hill.
Parks
Boating at Dighalipukhuri park in the city centre.
Food
Try Assamese thali, momos and, of course, plenty of Assam tea.
Weekend plans
Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary for one-horned rhinos, or a trip up to Shillong.
A safe first date
Meet somewhere busy, arrange your own travel both ways, and tell a friend where you'll be. A short video call beforehand is the easiest way to check someone is who they say they are.
