Partying the night away in Guwahati

Known for its natural beauty and old world charm, Guwahati is still not a full – fledged after dark city. Thanks to its geographical location in the north eastern part of the country, the city sees an early sunrise and sunset. So by 11 pm, shutters are down and roads are empty, devoid of traffic and human commotion. This however has seen a subtle change since the mid 2000s with the middle–class accumulating more disposable income. As a result of this, there were hitherto unfamiliar material aspirations and more thirst for consumerism that needed to be quenched. Though, nightlife in Guwahati is still in its early days, but the signs are promising and only good things will follow! What was only restricted to a few high – end hotels till not long ago has now found place in bustling business centres and hangout hubs crowded mostly by the youth. If you are a night owl and have an inclination to keep the spirits high as the sun goes down, Guwahati will not disappoint you – make no mistake about it. For the luxury seekers who love to blend their beverages with plush setting, there is The Lounge Bar in Hotel Dynasty and Silver Streak in Hotel Brahmaputra Ashok; urban cult chasers will cherish their time in Blues; go ecstatic in the floating Kamikaze or drink like a rockstar amid live bands and thumping beats in Café Hendrix!
