While on train from Chennai to Assam, we met a guy who invited us to stay with him, and we happily accepted. We had the honour to stay in a small village with local family for a few days and I will never forget the assamese people and this wonderful period.

Town's name is Borka, and it is situated not far away from Guwahati (very big city). There are no hotels or any tourist-friendly place, but people are exceptionally friendly.

We arrived on the first day of Raas festival, which (here) lasts 10 days. Because we arrived late in the evening, we just ate and went to sleep. Next day we went to Guwahati to cinema and visited some temples. During next days we visited two weddings and every evening went to see festival.

Assam (based on this town alone) has the friendliest people we met while in India. And also the most beautiful.
