Start by 6:00 AM for Kamakhya Temple to avoid peak queues. Keep modest clothing, carry water, and expect walking plus stair sections around the temple complex.

After brunch, cover Assam State Museum and then explore Pan Bazaar and Fancy Bazaar lanes for tea, local snacks, and handloom shopping.

Use evening to prep your intercity transfer: confirm vehicle for Kaziranga, keep one daypack ready, and pack light layers for early safari weather.

Trip rhythm tip: keep one fixed check-in routine every evening - confirm next-day transport, charge power bank and camera batteries, refill water, and set out weather-appropriate layers before sleeping. This 10-minute routine prevents missed starts and improves photo light opportunities because you can leave early without rushing.
