Assam is located on the two major river valleys of the North Eastern Region, i.e. the Brahmaputra Valley and the Barak Valley. The Karbi Plateau and the hills of Dima Hasao separate these valleys. The mighty Brahmaputra, which is India's biggest river by annual discharge, is intricately woven into the local identities. The state serves as a corridor to the different states of the region, as it shares a boundary with all of them, except with Sikkim. Its largest city, Guwahati, is often referred to as the 'Gateway to the NE Region'. In addition, Assam has borders with Bangladesh and Bhutan. Being mostly well-inhabited, the state has the largest population and economy of the region. Well known during the British rule of India for its tea, oil and timber, Assam is a beautiful and diverse state with an incredible range of cultures and landscapes. Its wildlife, tea gardens, monuments, religious shrines and other tourist destinations continue to attract an increasingly larger number of tourists from across India, as well as from other nations. The vast improvement of connectivity between the state and the other parts of India have helped in promoting tourism in the state, as well as a better understanding of its people and their cultures and traditions.
