It is known for its vast tea gardens (Assam tea is world-famous), rich biodiversity, and national parks such as Kaziranga (home to one-horned rhinos) and Manas.
The capital is Dispur (near Guwahati, the largest city).
With over 31 million inhabitants (2011), Assam has a diverse population with many ethnic groups, languages (especially Assamese), and cultures.
