On 22nd February, 2025. The Model Christian College, Department of Geology, Kohima, B.Sc. 6th semester students carried out the geological fieldwork in this Khangkhui Cave (Khangkhui Mangsor). It is fully limestone deposit and interesting to see the cave, formation of stalactites and stalagmites. This is the best time to visit and well dried inside the cave as well, I find the local people are friendly and have a great hospitality. I encourage students or youth to explore such an amazing natural beauty.

The Khangkhui Cave, locally called as Khangkhui Mangsor, is essentially a natural limestone cave. Archaeologists have discovered many important artefacts, dating back to the Palaeolithic culture from this cave. The cave is about 15 km away on eastern side from Ukhrul town. It takes around 1.30 hours to reach the cave. The cave was used as a shelter by the local people during World War II. The cave is said to be the home of the King who lived with his two wives.

Brings out the adventurist in you! 1 star less for all the plastic pollution. Visitors should take care and bring their trash back instead of dumping it all over the place.

Visiting Khangkhui Mangsor Cave is a captivating experience. The ancient limestone formations and intriguing stalactites create a mystical atmosphere. Exploring its winding passages reveals stunning natural beauty and a sense of history. The serene surroundings and unique geological features make it a must-visit destination for nature enthusiasts and adventurers.

Perfect place for adventure lovers.wear rough clothes if you really wish to crawl inside the caves.better carry some good torches and candles along with you.and Dont carry too many bags and belongings inside as it may disturb you in smaller passages.watch your head too.

One of the popular Manipur tourist places, this natural limestone cave draws visitors from all around. Located in the Ukhrul district of Manipur, the Khangkhui Cave holds special historical significance because of the discoveries made here that are evidence of habitations here of communities from the Stone Age. Timing: 5:00 AM – 5:00 PM

The beautiful architecture built during colonial era. We don’t get chance to see the church inside. The outer itself is so peaceful and picturesque, has won our hearts. It is at top of the hill. From every point of Kohima the church can be seen. One must visit this particular church to witness the history and hard efforts made in bygone days. Parking is there within premises.

During our stay in Kohima, we visited the Cathedral of Kohima – Mary Help of Christians Church – and it truly left us in awe. Perched on a hilltop, this iconic cathedral offers panoramic views of the city and is one of the most beautiful and serene places of worship we’ve ever seen. Its unique architecture and peaceful ambiance made it one of the highlights of our trip – a must-visit for anyone exploring Kohima.

In the morning, I visited the Kohima Cathedral Church and it was an amazing experience. The church itself opens at 8 AM if you want to go inside, but recommend going much earlier to witness the sunrise. From the hilltop, you get a breathtaking panoramic view of Kohima city wrapped in morning mist. The architecture of the church is also unique, blending modern design with Naga traditions, and it feels very peaceful to sit there quietly. Whether you are religious or not, this place is worth visiting for its beauty, serenity, and the unforgettable sunrise view over the city.

This is an extraordinary Roman Catholic Cathedral situated in the most beautiful location. I had the special blessing of speaking with the Bishop about Easter services, had parishioners provide me with the Holy Week services times, and was invited to have a cup of tea. I'm so grateful for everyone's kindness and thoughtfulness during my visit. The Stations of the Cross are magnificent. The view of the city takes your breath away.

This has been one of the most beautiful Cathedrals I’ve visited in India. The cathedral inside felt extremely grand and divine! It’s beautifully constructed and nicely maintained with trees and flowers at every corner of the space. Every corner of the place is a treat to your eyes and totally picturesque. You get a panoramic view of the entire township of Kohima. We spent more than an hour or two just strolling around and soaking the beauty. They have also beautifully showcased the crucification process of Jesus placed around the cathedral. If you’re in Kohima, please don’t miss a visit to this grandeur, especially during the sunset hour!

Honestly, this is one of the cleanest spots I've found in Kohima. The place is not just spotless, but it also looks amazing and the views are beautiful. There's something really magical about being here, makes you just want to chill and take it all in. Would definitely recommend if you're in town!

 Cathedral Cathedral of Mary Help of Christians, Kohima (A Bridge for the living & the dead)  The Cathedral is the most important Church in a diocese since it is the seat of the diocesan bishop and as the symbol of unity and hierarchical communion in the Church. In fact the term “Cathedra” means Chair. It is the Church where the bishop of the diocese presides over the liturgy. The word “Catholic” is derived from the Latin word “Catholicus” and the Greek adjective” Katholkose” meaning ‘Universal”. The building itself by its physical structure symbolises both the glory of God and of the Church. Though the diocese of Kohima-Imphal was erected in 1973 there was no Cathedral Church built for the diocese. Bishop Abraham Alangimattathil, SDB, who was the first bishop of the diocese of Kohima wanted to build a Cathedral blending and amalgamating the Christian theology and architecture with the local cultural tradition and symbols. In many places the Catholic Church has the agent of inculturation mainly in the architectural, furnishing and decoration in literature and liturgy.  With this plan in mind in 1982 the agreement with the Architect was signed and in 1983 the Church site was dedicated in the plot of land measuring 9.13 at Kuozhu, on the Aradurah hill now called New Minister Hill, overlooking the beautiful Kohima town and facing the historic Second World War Cemetery. It is visible from most of the mountain ranges surrounding the capital city of Kohima. The construction of the Cathedral began in 1985. Designed in Naga-Gothic style, built in a semi-circular shape, adapting and harmoniously blending both Christian and Naga cultural elements and art, the Cathedral stands as a historical monument. The Cathedral of Mary Help of Christians was officially consecrated in April 1991, after a peace memorial service, in which some war veterans from England and Japan who fought in the battle of Kohima, the last battle in the east of the Second World War, participated and came together for a reconciliation service and peace treaty, which may be first of its kind in the post-world second war period. In fact the roof of the Cathedral is red to signify the blood of Christ and blood of humans and of war victims.

Good maintained museum with 10 RS ticket per person.You can get information about Naga culture and lifestyle,it's second best tourist place after kohima war cemetery.

A walkable distance🚶 from the city centre, the museum houses a great collection of artifacts, paintings🎨 and memorabilia related to the state culture. Near the stairs leading down is a mural showing different tribes of the region and one level down there is one collection that displays the different styles of 🏘️ as per the specific tribe. A variety of headgear 👳, bamboo designs and pots 🍲etc along with ornamental designs can also be found here

Not a big place, But definitely a visiting place for kids, It gives great insight into the history of Nagaland, it's tribes, their lifestyle, culture, food, clothing, house pattern etc. Instructions Just for Tourists and Visitors- Sufficient Parking available inside the museum complex

The State Museum offers a deep and insightful journey into the rich cultural history of our land. Each chamber showcases life-sized human figures representing different tribes, engaged in traditional activities—, reflecting scenes from the past. A detailed map displays the unique architectural styles of tribal homes across the districts. The museum also features memorial items of renowned figures, ancestral artifacts, burial practices, tribal shawls, and traditional weapons used by our forefathers. It was both educational and moving to reconnect with our roots. I highly recommend this place to anyone with a passion for cultural heritage and history. Looking forward to visiting again and discovering more.

10rs per person entry, 50rs for camera. Museum is well maintained.. but if you’ve a voice guide then you’ll have more idea about history. Brief info is given on each display. Naga tribe and their life has been described beautifully.

We came to visit from Kigwema by booking a Car on 12th July 2025 (2nd Saturday) . When reached, the gate was closed. No contacts found around. Then we were told it's closed today.

Excellent place for rich info related to several tribes of this small state that's still practicing the life styles of hunter gatherer society.The museum covers info on agriculture tools,war metallurgy and hunting styles,textiles, ornaments, art of pottery,monuments for name and fame,wooden art and weaving utilities and finally rituals of dead across several tribes is interesting and unique from education and survival perspective in the dense forests away from the civilised world.

We set up our visit with Purvi Discovery LTD. They did a GREAT job getting everything in order. No problems at all! Recommend them for you tour. This is a great hidden gem of a reserve. I think many people think of the major National Parks in Assam, but this is an awesome, small accessible wildlife sanctuary. You will definitely see Gibbons, as well as some other primate and bird wildlife. The people that run the sanctuary are very nice and they did a great job. It is a nice, relatively easy walking tour, which was really fun to get out in the middle of nature and see the wildlife all around you. The curious think you will learn is that Gibbons essentially never touch the ground their whole life. They live in the treetops their entire life. Keep a sharp eye out, and try to not make too much noise, as they are very skiddish. If they hear you bumbling along the trail, they will swing away to get away from you. If you go to Assam, DO NOT skip this little sanctuary. It only takes a few hours on your way to Kaziranga!

A Must-Visit for Nature Enthusiasts and Wildlife Lovers Gibbon Wildlife Sanctuary is an incredible destination for anyone passionate about nature and wildlife. I recently had the pleasure of visiting, and my experience was nothing short of amazing. During my visit, I was fortunate enough to spot the Western Hoolock Gibbon, several rare bird species, intriguing spiders, and much more. Although I visited in the evening and didn’t have enough time to fully explore everything the sanctuary has to offer, the time I did spend there was thoroughly enjoyable. The serene atmosphere and the opportunity to witness such unique wildlife up close made it a memorable experience. I highly recommend Gibbon Wildlife Sanctuary to all nature and wildlife lovers. Whether you're a seasoned explorer or just looking for a peaceful retreat into nature, this sanctuary is a must-visit. I'll definitely plan a longer visit next time to fully immerse myself in this natural wonder. Thank you!

The unique 'virgin forest' of the North east in Assam - a safe heaven of about 7 primates including one nocturnal is Hoollongapar Gibbon Sanctuary formerly known as Gibbon Wildlife Sanctuary. The "hooow lonnnng tree" as defined by the Britishers (Hollong tree, Dipterocarpus retusus), dictates the upper canopy of this evergreen forest and a treat to stare at it. Spend almost half of the day making your path way through the thick bushes Shrubs and herbs in the leech infested area chasing the illusive Hoolock Gibbons (the main attraction) and the other primates. You will be mesmerized with their activities, family's courtship, feeding and communication behaviour. The butterfly concentration is also good here. Birds are hard to locate due to the dense foliage. All theses for a very nominal charge (entry fee 50/-, camera fee 50/- and guide fee 300/-) Habitate loss of this primate due to gradual shinking of the canopy area is becoming a bigger threat for the Gibbons as they never leave the trees and move on the land. The government of Assam is taking necessary steps for their protection but more aggressive steps are required for the conservative and protection of these species. Eagerly waiting to visit the place again and again.

Gibbons wildlife sanctuary is very special place for 7 species. Timeing is 6 am to 12 am

The Hoollongapar Gibbon Sanctuary, also known as the Hoollongapar Reserve Forest, is located in the state of Assam, India. It is renowned for its efforts in conserving the Western Hoolock Gibbon, which is an endangered primate species. Here are some key points about the sanctuary: Location: Hoollongapar Gibbon Sanctuary is situated in the Jorhat district of Assam, in the northeastern region of India. Western Hoolock Gibbon: The sanctuary primarily focuses on the conservation of the Western Hoolock Gibbon, which is the only ape species found in India. This species is listed as endangered due to habitat loss and fragmentation. Flora and Fauna: Apart from gibbons, the sanctuary is home to a variety of other wildlife species, including various birds, reptiles, and mammals. It also features diverse plant life. Conservation Efforts: The sanctuary is dedicated to the protection and rehabilitation of gibbons and their natural habitat. Efforts are made to curb illegal activities like poaching and logging within the sanctuary. Biodiversity Hotspot: The northeastern region of India, where the sanctuary is located, is known for its rich biodiversity. Hoollongapar Gibbon Sanctuary contributes to the conservation of this unique ecosystem. Visitor Information: The sanctuary may allow limited eco-tourism activities, including guided tours. Visitors can observe wildlife and appreciate the natural beauty of the area while adhering to conservation guidelines. Please note that the information provided is based on my knowledge up to September 2021, and there may have been developments or changes since that time. If you plan to visit or learn more about the Hoollongapar Gibbon Sanctuary, I recommend checking with local authorities or reliable sources for the most up-to-date information.

Located around 21 km from the main town of Jorhat, this beautiful wildlife sanctuary is famous for its 7 primates/ 5 types of 🐒 including hoolock gibbon. Apart from the gibbon, one can see capped langur, stump-tailed macaque, pigtail macaque, Assamese macaque, rhesus macaque and slow loris, elephant and so many other species of animals here. We were lucky to spot barking deer, red headed trogan, wablers, sunbird, minivet, malayan squirrel, parakeets etc including fresh marks of leopard & wild boar. Don't carry heavy lenses like 600mmf4 as you need to walk a lot inside bushes with no path. Just carry lighter lenses like 200-600 or 500mm f5.6 / 300mm f4 as most of the times monkeys will be hanging on trees 70° - 90° with fast movement between branches. There wil be lots of leeches inside forest but not to worry if you are covered fully including leech socks paired with good trekking shoe. This sanctuary is open all days & no holidays. I will recommend you to stay nearby sanctuary & spend 2-3 days to explore sanctuary to the fullest. Overall I loved exploring this beautiful sanctuary, less people, more of birds n animals including butterflies. Will recommend to others also.

It is one of the best place to see the hollock gibbons in their natural habitat. One can also see capped langur, stamped tailed macaque, pig tailed macaque and lot of other mammals and also a lot of varieties of birds here. The best way to see the parkbis by trekking and one needs leech protection if they want to go inside the park. Best time to visit the park is early morning.

Nambor Wildlife Sanctuary in Golaghat, Assam is famous for Hot water springs and it is a peaceful and green spot, perfect for nature lovers. The sanctuary is filled with thick forests and is home to many different plants and animals. The cool, refreshing air and calm surroundings make it a great place to relax and feel at peace. As you walk through, you'll hear birds singing and the soft sound of leaves swaying in the breeze. It's a perfect escape from daily stress. The natural beauty of the place is untouched, allowing you to enjoy nature at its best. The only downside is the lack of internet connection. While it can be a nice break from the online world, it might be inconvenient for those who need to stay connected. Despite that, Nambor is a great place to visit if you want to unwind and enjoy nature's beauty.

One of the best place to visit jungle for biginner travellers for experience

Located in Golaghat district of Assam, Nambor - Doigrung Wildlife Sanctuary is at a distance of about 25 kms from Golaghat town. This wildlife sanctuary covers an area of 97.15 sq. km. The forest type is tropical semi-evergreen with pockets of pure evergreen, interspersed with small forest marshes.

This place is not so excited and interesting..ok for spending time with friends and kids...

Very beautiful and amazing place. Highly recommend to visit this place. The hot water pond are so amazing with hot water crystal clear and well maintained.

The sanctuary is famous for its hot spring and waterfall.. Its better to visit that place in your own private wheels.. Better to take food with you or eat before you visit. The road distances from nearest Towns : from Golaghat is 35 km, from Diphu is 92 km, from Guwahati is 330 km and Kaziranga is 45 km away.

I personally like "Garampani ", because nature is great, it really can be crowded in middle of the day or weekends, so better to be early morning or at least on normal days, otherwise lovely spot for recharge, to have picnic, to see some animals, if you are lucky :), or elegant drops if you aren't that lucky. One thing is disturbing is trash, people not cleaning after themselves, but not critical level, but still it's not cool.

Dense forest with Highway passing through the forest, Best for one day Cycling trip from Golaghat and Back, A long drive from Jorhat is also an available option (Follow Dimapur highway through Golaghat/ Bikers can take detour if likes to experience rural landscape), Small tourist attractions like Hot water spring and park, Request- Please don't litter.......

The road was surprisingly good at the end but from Golaghat, it was hell. I didn't think it was free of charge to enter, but we didn't have to pay. Overall it was an average experience. The Nambor road is more worth it.

Located in the middle of Nambor Wildlife Sanctuary at Karbi Anglong district is Garampani, the natural hot water spring of Assam. Very beautiful and well maintained by the forest department. It's a very popular tourist place. Road conditions are really good and close from Golaghat town as well as Borpothar block along with Dimapur district from Nagaland.

It’s a beautiful waterfall, there is some walking through a green passage. The locals sell sliced pineapples on the way which are sweet and nice too. There are small streams on the walkway. The only bad thing is people throwing trash like empty bottles, plastic packets all around. Wish there were dustbins around.

The place was very good and during the visit it require around 1km trekking from the parking area. During the walk you can experience the small water crossing ways and the sky walk to the waterfalls Recommended to visit

Hidden like a Bollywood plot twist in the lush embrace of Bokakhat, Assam, the beautiful Kakochang Waterfall is the kind of place where your phone signal disappears, your soul reconnects, and your inner poet suddenly starts using words like “pristine” and “serene” without irony. Just 13 km from the more “touristy” Kaziranga National Park, Kakochang is the underrated sibling that doesn’t scream for attention but wins hearts anyway. Cascading dramatically from the forested heights of the Karbi Anglong hills, this waterfall isn’t just water meeting gravity — it’s Mother Nature’s way of saying, “Relax, human. I’ve got this.” The Fall Guy Kakochang (also spelled "Kakojan", if Google Maps is in a mood) is a seasonal stunner. Monsoon turns it into a roaring beauty, while the dry season makes it a gentle stream — perfect for Instagrammers who like their nature photogenic but not splashy. And let’s not forget the approach. You’ll trek through thick bamboo groves, wild orchids, and enough slippery roots to test your relationship with both gravity and your hiking boots. But trust me, every puff and pant is worth the grand finale of water theatrics. Bonus Bait Nearby The waterfall isn’t just sitting pretty — it’s got some historical neighbors! The ruins of Numaligarh (yes, a whole ancient city!), and the tea gardens of Bokakhat are just a hop and a DSLR click away. We Recommend 1. Best time to visit? Post-monsoon (Oct–Feb). The waterfall’s full, but your shoes won’t be. 2. Pack light, but bring a towel. There’s a solid chance you’ll accidentally on purpose get drenched! 3. Wear good shoes. The path’s not for stilettos or Delhi mall-walkers. Final Splash The Kakochang Waterfall is the liquid love letter from Assam’s wild heart. It's nature’s own spa day — no appointment needed, just a sense of wonder and maybe a spare pair of socks. Fun Fact: Locals believe the area was once a tribal kingdom centuries ago — no wonder it feels royal!

A must visit place for everyone and best to visit in hot days so that you can enjoy cool breezing air with water drops on your face in front of water fall. Visited Kakochang waterfall with friends and family on weekend. Enjoyed a lot whole day with nature. Around 90 minutes travel from Jorhat by car. From parking area, it's about one km trekking to reach waterfall site. During that one km you will come across many small stream of water which is most amazing part of trekking. You can spent whole day there. If you are in a group then the experience is going to be amazing. Take your eatings with you or you can make there also if you are planning to do so. Go in sleepers not shoes.

A good place to visit when in Kaziranga. Waterfall is picturesque. A 25 mins walk from parking. It is safe can take kids as well. While walking there will be water streams from which you can walk or if don’t wish to walk through waters than there are walking bridges made. There will be no network once you reach half the way. We visited in mid March.

What a beautiful place . Really it was wonderful experience. What a beautiful place to spend time with family and friends. The road is awesome. Be ready to walk around 2km something from parking location. Is in Karbi anglong district . The waterfall is most beautiful. You can feel the water splashing the sound . Please visit everyone. And enjoy us. Thank you. ☺️

Kakochang waterfall is about an hour drive from Kaziranga National Park. It's another half an hour walking, climbing steps/ramps through the forest to reach the spot. But it's worth the effort to visit the waterfall. It's a place for nature lovers, to enjoy the peaceful surrounding. There is a small stall who serve typical Assamese food. The road leading to the waterfall is lined with tea estates. The trip to the waterfall can be combined with a visit to the Archiological site, Deopahar.

Kaziranga National Orchid Park is a wonderful place that beautifully showcases the rich culture and heritage of Assam. The entire park is very well maintained by the local community, reflecting their dedication and love for nature and tradition. The place offers an organic and ethnic vibe, making it a perfect blend of culture, art, and biodiversity. The orchids, along with the surrounding gardens and exhibits, are meticulously cared for and a delight to explore. One of the highlights here is the traditional Assamese veg thali, priced at around Rs. 200 — a must-try for anyone visiting. The food is authentic, flavorful, and truly worth it. Overall, Kaziranga National Orchid Park is a must-visit destination that not only offers scenic beauty but also immerses you in the essence of Assam’s cultural richness and natural heritage.

An absolutely wonderful experience! Kaziranga National Orchid and Biodiversity Park has the largest collection of orchid varieties in the world, and it’s truly mesmerizing to see. The instructors were extremely passionate and explained each variety with great clarity, you can really feel their love for what they do. All the staff were polite, friendly, and deeply committed to their work. We also got to watch some of the local Assamese dance performances they were preparing, which were amazing! The park itself is rich in flora, and the environment feels so alive. Don’t miss trying the traditional Assamese thali at the park, it was spectacular, with at least 16 delicious items. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Kaziranga ,a must-visit spot that beautifully showcases Assam’s natural and cultural heritage.

Don't skip this on your way to the Kaziranga safari adventure. It only takes a few hours on your way to the park, and it is a good cultural experience of the people in the region, and the orchid garden is quite lovely. You will see so many variants of native and non-native orchids, and learn how they grow and thrive. There are a few other agricultural and cultural displays (traditional dancing, rice/miller education etc) you can see as well.

Lovely place, one must visit to see variety of orchids, medicinal plants, bamboo plants, museum along with cultural activities continuously going on. Staff is well versed and explains the details of each activity which includes uses of different plants and how orchids grow. Variety of food is also available.

A beautiful Orchid largest in India. Very rare orchids, dance programs, bamboo garden, so many attractions. Worth seeing.

One of the few things you can do apart from safariy it is a really cool place with a lot to do, we think 3 hours should be enough, we went to see the orchids, amazing musical instruments museum, cactus greenhouse, some medicinal herbs selling point we didn't have time for, a really nice bamboo park, a restaurant. They perform dances on stage, I think they do it all day round, we came there just after the morning safari and saw it at least twice, so it's hard to miss it.

Kaziranga National Orchid Park is a wonderful place that beautifully showcases the rich culture and heritage of Assam. The entire park is very well maintained by the local community, reflecting their dedication and love for nature and tradition. The place offers an organic and ethnic vibe, making it a perfect blend of culture, art, and biodiversity. The orchids, along with the surrounding gardens and exhibits, are meticulously cared for and a delight to explore. One of the highlights here is the traditional Assamese veg thali, priced at around Rs. 200 — a must-try for anyone visiting. The food is authentic, flavorful, and truly worth it. Overall, Kaziranga National Orchid Park is a must-visit destination that not only offers scenic beauty but also immerses you in the essence of Assam’s cultural richness and natural heritage.

An absolutely wonderful experience! Kaziranga National Orchid and Biodiversity Park has the largest collection of orchid varieties in the world, and it’s truly mesmerizing to see. The instructors were extremely passionate and explained each variety with great clarity, you can really feel their love for what they do. All the staff were polite, friendly, and deeply committed to their work. We also got to watch some of the local Assamese dance performances they were preparing, which were amazing! The park itself is rich in flora, and the environment feels so alive. Don’t miss trying the traditional Assamese thali at the park, it was spectacular, with at least 16 delicious items. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Kaziranga ,a must-visit spot that beautifully showcases Assam’s natural and cultural heritage.

Don't skip this on your way to the Kaziranga safari adventure. It only takes a few hours on your way to the park, and it is a good cultural experience of the people in the region, and the orchid garden is quite lovely. You will see so many variants of native and non-native orchids, and learn how they grow and thrive. There are a few other agricultural and cultural displays (traditional dancing, rice/miller education etc) you can see as well.

Lovely place, one must visit to see variety of orchids, medicinal plants, bamboo plants, museum along with cultural activities continuously going on. Staff is well versed and explains the details of each activity which includes uses of different plants and how orchids grow. Variety of food is also available.

A beautiful Orchid largest in India. Very rare orchids, dance programs, bamboo garden, so many attractions. Worth seeing.

The elephant safari was nice. We started at 5.20 and came back by 6.20. Within that hour, we had a real close interaction with One horned Rhino, sambar, swamp deer, wild Buffalo and a few birds. It's definitely one of the top 3 best Safari in India. Refreshments available near main gate from 6.30 am

Don't come here at december, and if you do then try to avoid this central range. It is dust everywhere. So many zeep together,and they create a hell of dust. Too much crowd some time making a jam. Animal sighting was good. Saw rhinos, elephant,boar, deer,monkeys,turtles,and lots of birds.

Enjoyed my jeep safari in this range. Saw various types of birds ,deer, Bengal tiger and rhinos. This range has the highest tiger population in kaziranga. If your primary goal is to see rhinos and lots of tiger this range will not disappoint you.

Visited Bohora. Sighted few animals.. it depends upon at which time we are visiting.

Kaziranga National Park is an amazing place to experience wildlife in its natural habitat. The highlight was definitely seeing the one-horned rhinos up close, along with elephants, deer, and a variety of birds. The jeep safari was an amazing experience, taking us through beautiful grasslands and dense forests.

This is the central zone and most popular zone of Kaziranga. You can sight various animal ans birds inside this zone. This zone is also popular for tiger sighting. You can buy tickets in online. In the afternoon the entry time is 1.30PM yto 3.00PM and before 5PM you need to make exit from the zone. Guards checks the bag before entering the place.

The place is called Mihimukh. The police personnel check the vehicles and bags thoroughly. They don't allow any food or plastic to be taken inside the Park. It is this alertness and vigilance that keeps Kaziranga so clean and free from any littering and the animal population healthy.

Do not use this travel agent; he earns massive cuts from drivers and hotels and is not committed to a good service. We were travelling from England to see Kaziranga Nature Reserve and for our 6 day trip, Anshuman Travels booked us to visit Kaziranga on the last day, which would have been fine except we realised after reaching Assam that on the last two days of our trip, the safaris were cancelled owing to Gaja Mahotsav. This was a shock and disappointing to say the least as we missed the most looked forward to part of our long-planned trip. Anshuman did not take any responsibility for this and did not rearrange things for us. We were encouraged by positive reviews online but had an awful experience with this agent. The hotels booked were sub-standard and the agent did not take any responsibility for changing things for us. Instead, he cancelled our bookings and did not return our money. He took Rs 30,000 advance and only provided services worth Rs 21,000. He cancelled our bookings and left us stranded without a booked hotel for four nights. Since we were travelling with children and parents, this left us in a precarious situation. Very sad that this should happen to anyone. No apology rendered; not even money refunded for services not provided.

We took the services of Anshuman travels to execute our 8 days Assam and Meghalaya trip in March 2023. Biswas da is very responsive and prompt with his inputs and iternary planning. We were assigned a dedicated cab and driver for the entire week. Our driver Biplob was prompt from airport pick up to dropping us back after a week. He is a very good driver and also helped us finding vegetarian hotels across the tour. During the tour Biswas da was very quick to address a few challenges that came our way. He was also very helpful with his inputs on elephant safari and Brahmaputra cruise. Over all I recommend there services if you are planning a north east trip.

Awesome Service provide by Anshuman Travels. Mr Biswas owner of the firm provide nice service my group. They provide Tempo Traveller Service at 10pm. I booked last movement for my group. Vehicle & Driver very Good. If any one plan North East Tour Book Taxi from Anshuman Travels. If any one want good service go with Anshuman Travels.

We booked for 4 day short trip to meghalaya from tamilnadu. A bachelor trip from Tamilnadu. Covered Shillong few places, *clean umngot river, *maylong village, *root brige, cherapunji few place and mainly *weisaw dong waterfall. * denotes must visit place. I have given review as per what we covered. But there are much more beautiful places in meghalaya. Travels is good. Hotels what we stayed are clean and good. We are 5 person. Its around 65k for 4 night and 4 days with breakfast.

We had a great experience with Anshuman Travels from 27th May to 1st June 2019. Our Guwahati, Shillong & Cherrapunji tour was well organised by the travel agency. The vehicle which was given to us was a neat & clean one alongwith a intelligent driver Saiful who guided us well & took care of us. Whenever next if we plan a tour to north-east we will once again take the services of Anshuman Travels & recommend to other travellers also. We would like to personally thank to the owner of the travel agency who has given us an excellent service.

No Tour Operator is better than Anshuman Travels for North East India especially for Tawang. Simply provide your tour period & they will take away all your tensions. Superb services inclusive of all vehicle, driver, lodging, sight seeing everything fantastic. Thank you very much Anshuman Travels for making our tour so much remarkable, ever lasting memorable, marvellous etc. Sort of words to express my feelings. It is my request to all, planning to visit North Eastern India "Book with Anshuman & Forget Everything".

The trip was nicely organised and even though we had many intermittent changes in our plans, our host Swarnendu provided us with good alternatives... Although admittedly the driver of our Innova was at times not as cooperative as we would have liked, all in all it was an amazing experience. The hotels were also very good and the overall experience was just amazing and a week that will be etched in our memories forever.

It is a regional museum showcasing artifacts and heritage of Arunachal Pradesh. The collection is quite good and showcases the local heritage and history. I feel if they keep a description of each tribe (their customs, food and living style) along with the 3-D models, it will be perfect.

A very beautiful, well maintained, neat and clean Museum showcasing the culture of Arunachal Pradesh with most emphasis on various aboriginal tribes. It also has sections dedicated some very popular figures originating from the state. The staff is very welcoming, helpful and friendly. Entry fee is Rs. 20/- plus another 20/- for Camera for Indians.

If you want to know about local tribes of Arunachal Pradesh then it is a good place to visit. Ticket price for an adult (indian) is 20 rs. Only. For foreigners (100rs) only that is 1 $ approx. Time needed to visit (1-2 hours) Improvement:- Since it is a public place, at least it needs to have a water cooler for the public. During our visit, there was one water dispenser near the emergency exit gate but it was also not working. But staff behaviour is very nice they offered water from their bottle.

The Jawaharlal Nehru State Museum in Itanagar is a great place to explore the culture of Arunachal Pradesh. Most exhibits are self-explanatory, with clear information provided, so visitors can easily understand the artifacts without needing a guide, though guides are available. However, the maps and information displayed are outdated, and some maps are inaccurate. Updating these would improve the museum's overall experience, especially as new districts have been created and more research has emerged. Despite this, it remains a valuable and informative museum.

A great place to learn about history of various tribes of Arunachal Pradesh

Absolutely amazing worth it to visit to have a quick knowledge about Arunanchal culture and heritage.

The museum hold the curated information about the cultural history of Arunachal. Good place to get the knowledge of the state and its heritage. Timings - 1000 hrs to 1600 hrs Close - Monday, Tuesday, and public holidays Ticket ₹ 20 for Indians and ₹100 for foreign tourists.

Atop a hill overlooking the Brahmaputra River, the Ma Bhairavi Mandir brings a deep sense of peacefulness in the visitor. There is no one out to fleece the devotee. The first visit was at night when no one was there. We left our shoes in the car at the foot of the hill and walked barefoot up the steps. In the next visit in the morning, I sat in the temple complex for a long time and liked it very much.

Sri Sri Maa Bhairabi Mandir in Tezpur is a serene haven, encapsulating the essence of spiritual tranquility. Nestled amidst lush greenery, this divine abode emanates an aura of profound reverence.

Sri Sri Maa Bhairabi Mandir is not merely a place of worship; it is a sanctum where the soul finds solace, making it a must-visit destination for seekers of divine blessings in Tezpur.

Enjoy scenic views of Brahamaputra from this temple. If possible get down other side (steep descent)of the temple to see Brahamaputra river.

The Enigmatic Bhairabi Temple of Tezpur, Assam Nestled amidst the rolling hills and mighty Brahmaputra River in Tezpur, Assam, lies the ancient and enigmatic Bhairabi Temple. Shrouded in legend and history, this temple dedicated to Goddess Durga presents a captivating blend of spiritual charm and architectural wonder. Bhairabi Temple, Tezpur, Assam A Legacy Forged in Stone: While the exact origins remain shrouded in mist, some believe the temple dates back to the 9th century, built by the Asura King Banasura. Intricate stone carvings on the temple walls whisper tales of a glorious past, showcasing remnants of its intricate 9th-century architecture. The temple grounds encompass a serene pond and a picturesque landscape, adding to the spiritual ambiance. A Goddess with Many Faces: The temple primarily worships Goddess Durga in her fierce Bhairabi form, symbolizing strength, power, and protection. Uniquely, unlike traditional Durga depictions, the Bhairabi idol holds a skull and a severed arm, reflecting her fierce aspect. Devotees from across Assam and beyond flock to the temple seeking blessings, particularly during Durga Puja, celebrated with grand fervor. Whispers of Legends: Mythology intertwines with history, weaving tales of Usha, daughter of Banasura, who worshipped here regularly. The nearby Bamuni Hills are said to be the remnants of her palace, adding to the temple's mystical aura. Sacrificial offerings of goats and birds, though uncommon today, remain a part of the temple's ancient traditions. A Haven for the Soul: Beyond the religious significance, Bhairabi Temple offers a tranquil escape. The panoramic views of the Brahmaputra River and the surrounding hills soothe the mind and inspire awe. The temple complex provides a peaceful space for meditation, reflection, and connecting with oneself.

Peaceful environment, well mannered priest. Bhairavi Mandir is one of the 51th Sakti Peeth. This is situated at the top of a hill, near Bamuni Hills. The environment is full of silence, positivity, clean, cool and greenery. River Bhorolu or Brahmaputra is flowing besides the temple.

Serene.. Peaceful.. Positive Energy.. This temple, also locally known as Mainthan is located in the outskirts of Tezpur with Brahmaputra river flowing. Goddess Durga is worshipped here. If you wish to embrace yourself with the divine positive energy of Ma Durga, do visit once. Jai Mata di!!! 🙏

If Romeo and Juliet had a Northeast Indian reboot with a fiery twist, it would be set atop the Agnigarh Hill — a place where love quite literally burned bright. Welcome to the iconic Agnigarh Fort in Tezpur, Assam — where history meets mythology with a dash of Bollywood-level drama and panoramic views to boot. What's in a Name? ‘Agni’ means fire, and ‘Garh’ means fortress. Put them together and voilà – you get the "Fire Fortress". Built to keep lovers apart (yes, seriously), this hill was supposedly surrounded by perpetual flames, making it the medieval version of a “do not disturb” sign. According to local legends from the Mahabharata, this is where Princess Usha, daughter of demon king Banasura, was imprisoned after she fell in love with Aniruddha, the grandson of Lord Krishna. Daddy dearest didn’t approve (obviously), so he locked her up in this lava-ringed love prison. Because nothing says “no boyfriend” like a fire moat! Mythology + Romance = Must Visit Today, there’s no fire — just stairs (a lot of them!) — that take you to the top where the fort ruins sit like a wise old sage. There are beautifully sculpted statues that narrate the whole Usha-Aniruddha saga, perfect for that “deep in thought” selfie. And the view? Oh, the view! You get a sweeping panorama of the majestic Brahmaputra River, the town of Tezpur, and if you're lucky, a cloud photobomb or two. It's like nature gave Agnigarh a cinematic filter. Fun Facts to Brag About: - Agnigarh is one of the oldest mythologically significant sites in Assam. - It has a spiral staircase pathway with murals and storytelling sculptures – basically, Game of Thrones meets Amar Chitra Katha. - The spot is popular with couples – ironic, considering it was built to prevent romance. Final Verdict Agnigarh is not just a fort, it’s an emotion. Equal parts romantic and rebellious, it's ideal for history buffs, hopeless romantics, and sweaty trekkers alike.

Historical hill with a view point offering a scenic view of the Brahmaputra. Well maintained. But no online payment only cash (atleast when we went)

Assam's one of the important historical place. The park was well maintained when we visited this place. Lord krishna is associated with this place. Nice experience. We could witnessed the beauty of river Brahmaputra.❤️

It is a historical place from which the name of the city “Tezpur” derived. It is said that this is place where the daughter of King Banasura was kept isolated. Later the war between Lord Krishna and Lord Shiva took place, which led the name of the place. Anirudha, the grandson of Lord Krishna was being attracted by the Prince Usha, got married later. King Banasura (who was the devotee of Lord Shiva) arrested him on hearing this news. It led the war between Banasura and Krishna. However being the devotee of Shiva, Lord Shiva came to rescue and it was place of blood when the war had started between Lord Shiva and Lord Krishna. Lord Vishnu came to end this war later. The entry fee is Rs 30 for adults and Rs 10 for minors. However, there is no maintenance, no proper description neither clean properly. The authority should take action to keep the sentiments and mythological beliefs intact. It has a watch tower from where the city and the surroundings, including majestic view of River Bramhaputra can be seen. But still need proper maintenance!

What to say about this place..you can come here with your family, friends and with your special one. It's a historical place.

One of the best Garden on small hills and you can easily see the Brahma Putri River.

Agnigarh (অগ্নিগড়) is one of the most beautiful and historically rich tourist spots in Tezpur, Assam. The place is deeply connected with the famous love story of Princess Usha, daughter of King Bana, and Aniruddha, the grandson of Lord Krishna. According to legend, King Bana built a fortress surrounded by fire to keep Usha away from Aniruddha, and that is how the place got its name – “Agnigarh” (Fort of Fire). Today, when you visit Agnigarh, you can still feel the essence of those stories through the artistic sculptures and statues built along the pathways. These sculptures beautifully depict the legendary tale, making the visit not only scenic but also culturally meaningful. The hilltop location provides breathtaking panoramic views of the Brahmaputra River and Tezpur town. 🌿 The climb is not very difficult, and the pathways are well-maintained. It’s a peaceful spot to enjoy nature, take photographs, or simply sit and relax. During the evening, especially around sunset, the atmosphere becomes magical. I found the area very clean and visitor-friendly, with enough space to walk and spend time with family or friends. It’s also a great place for students and tourists who want to learn about Assam’s mythology and heritage. Overall, Agnigarh is not just a tourist attraction but a blend of history, culture, and natural beauty. A must-visit place in Tezpur for anyone who wants to explore the heritage of Assam. – Priyanuj Hazarika (Local Guide)

Chitralekha Park – where nature, history, and fun come together! Loved the lush greenery, scenic lake, and ancient stone sculptures that make this place truly special. A peaceful stroll and boating in the huge lake made the visit even more enjoyable. The bumped cars and kids' play area brought so much joy to my son—it was a delight to see him so happy!

The playground is good, and the environment is also good, but if you go alone, you will feel very bored because the whole ground is full of couples, so you may feel lonely. There are also a few families, but mostly there will be couples. If you are a couple, a friend group, or a family, then you can come, but if you are alone, then don't come; you will have a very bad experience. I am telling you this from my personal experience. 😑

Such a peaceful experience. The temple is on a small hill so you get this nice view of the town along with a cool breeze. The Shiva lingam inside is massive and feels really powerful just to stand in front of it. I liked that it wasn’t too crowded, so I could sit quietly for some time.

I would like to visit the place, Love it.. And I would like to know whether unmarried couple is allowed or not for night stay ???

Man made forest looks and feels like a natural forest, very dense. The rooms are ok, but requires more maintenance. Good if you want to experience staying in the middle of a jungle. Way to the camp is also very exciting, need to cross a river.

It is a very good place, for tourists and the near by people's. This place includes a huge amount of trees, no. of water crossing and no.of things. Nothing much facilities aren't there inside, there are no shops no nothing just the mother nature, for your kind information if you are going with little kids you do make sure to carry some snacks if they love to have it and please make sure you don't make the surrounding's dirty .🚯

One can't believe that such an Amazing & Beautiful place is present in Remote area of Udalguri. Being a Wanderlust, I explore placed & it came beyond our expectations. Great Rejuvenating place for Travellers. Couple Friendly amidst Delicious Organic Food.It supports Community Based Tourism in a lousy and wonderful environment.

My first visit to this man made forest was breath taking, I mean its so dense and full of wild life like deer. It didn't have any wild life safari cause they are just starting up. The community is really nice, they have like tree house and all, and you get to hear sound of the jungle. Really fascinating.

A forest with a history of deforestation followed by afforestation, there's something less wild but equally scenic about a man-made forest. Streams run through the forest that's also know for it's elephants. The roads here are pretty poor and mobile network is relatively zero through most parts of it. There are a few stays available and the location is a popular camping ground during the non-monsoon season. Food and other resources are hard to come by and it's best to stock up on things necessary before coming towards Gethesmane.

A nature's hub with full of joy and mindfulness... will be great, if public cautious in using unnecessary plastic and other waste...cant imagine the place unless you will visit and made yourself in unison with nature with the sound of water...I loved it

This is a must visit for any bird watching enthusiast. Situated between tenga and misamari in Arunachal Pradesh. Guwahati to Tenga and then onto the sanctuary is the way to travel. There are three camps in the sanctuary that offer accommodation. Lama, bompu and khellong. Hiring an SUV With an experienced driver is recommended as the roads are just jeep tracks in areas The place is beautiful with mist covered mountains and floating clouds and dense forests The elevation decreases as you travel from lama to khellong and the flora and fauna changes accordingly. I have reviewed the accommodation separately

Best place for bird watcher and Nature lover. One of my favorite places.The only place where an endangered bird species Bugun Liocichla is found.Views from the top of the camp is amazing. Food and service and the people of the camp were too good.Go for it.

Not a commercial area and known for tourist but you can spot beautiful birds and even hornbills here. I spotted kindfishers, woodpecker and hornbill during my visit.

Two forest check posts. Road is good upto lama camp. Then it is offroad, narrow with sharp stones jutting out from side & below. Serious birdwatchers frequent here with long telephoto lenses.

This eagle nest of wildlife sanctuaries so beautiful to see different kinds flora and fauna,, and Hero of Engle nest of wildlife sanctuary bugun liocichla Bird.....

great place to visit. try to get one guide. single road so good driving skill is reqd. elephant, pandas ,wild buffalos can be seen. lots of endangered birds can be found. the jungle is thick and you have to pay rs 100 per person to check post operated by village council.

Its a very beautiful monastery. Very quiet and silent place for worshiping Lord Gautam Buddha. It has training and a learning center for studies on buddhism . Students from the age of 5 and above are allowed to take admission here and training.

This monastery located on the upper reaches of Bomdila is also known as Gentse Gaden Rabgyel Lling Monastery. It was built in 1965 by the 12th reincarnate of Tsona Gontse Rinpoche. Found the monastery to be very vibrant and active as it houses a large number of boys and young men who are being imparted training to become lamas. As this monastery is located on an elevated area, it offers an aerial view of Bomdila.

On the way back to Guwahati from Tawang, we decided to stay at Bomdila due low visibility on road. In the morning, we made a small detour to Bomdilla Monastery. Some festivals/ prayers were going on at the morning (8.30 AM). The students there offered us a local tibetan sweet delicacy made out of pasta and yak cheese. Then they offered us salty tea with yak milk. The experience was surreal.

Bomdila Monastery, located in the serene hills of Arunachal Pradesh, is a peaceful and spiritually uplifting place that beautifully reflects Tibetan Buddhist culture. Also known as the Gontse Gaden Rabgyel Lling Monastery, it offers stunning views of the surrounding Himalayas and the Bomdila valley below. The monastery’s architecture is vibrant and intricate, with colorful murals and prayer flags that create a tranquil, sacred atmosphere. Visitors often praise the calmness of the place — it’s less crowded than many other monasteries, making it ideal for quiet reflection. The monks are welcoming, and if you visit during prayer sessions, the rhythmic chants and sounds of the drums are truly mesmerizing. Overall, Bomdila Monastery is not just a religious site but also a cultural gem — a perfect stop for anyone seeking peace, beauty, and a glimpse into the spiritual life of Arunachal Pradesh

Serene and beautiful. One of the known Monasteries of North East India. Well maintained large area with plenty of parking space.

Bomdila Monastery, also called Gentse Gaden Rabgyel Lling, is a beautiful Buddhist monastery in Arunachal Pradesh. Built in 1965, it’s known for its peaceful vibe, prayer hall, Buddha temple, and monk school. It resembles the Tsona Gontse Monastery in South Tibet and holds great importance for Mahayana Buddhists.

************ Om Ma-ni Pad-me Hum ***************** Visited Bomdila Buddhist Monastery during my solo trip to Bomdila while staying at the Circuit House. Every evening after working remotely, I would take a 40-minute trek up to the monastery, and it quickly became the highlight of my stay. Perched on top of a mountain, the monastery offers a breathtaking view of the valley below and an atmosphere of absolute peace and serenity. The quiet surroundings, the gentle breeze, and the sound of prayer flags fluttering in the wind created a sense of calm that’s hard to describe. It was the perfect place to unwind, reflect, and find inner stillness after a long day. Truly a must-visit spot in Bomdila — not just for its beauty, but for the sense of peace it brings to the soul.

Can never get tired of this place and this road. Looks like you are climbing to the skies. Now that the tunnel is there, the pass and lake has become a tourist thing rather than a road people take to Tawang and back. It's good we have the tunnel but nothing beats the experience of this cold and wind at 4000 metres from sea level. A driver's paradise!

It’s a beautiful and chilly place. Sela Pass sits at an altitude of around 13,700 feet. The main Sela Gate is about 200 meters from the pass, and just below it lies the stunning Sela Lake which is surrounded by mountains. Right in front of Sela Pass, there’s a small stall where you can enjoy a warm cup of tea or coffee, cold drinks or energy drinks, some noodles, and a few snacks.

I recently visited Sela Pass in October 2025, and it was one of the most mesmerizing places I’ve ever seen. Located at an altitude of over 13,000 feet, Sela Pass connects Tawang with the rest of Arunachal Pradesh and offers a breathtaking view of snow-covered peaks and crystal-clear lakes. The famous Sela Lake, surrounded by snow even in early winter, adds to the magic of the place — it’s truly a photographer’s paradise. The air up there is crisp and cold, and the whole area feels peaceful and surreal. It’s the kind of place where you can simply stop, breathe, and take in the beauty of nature in its purest form. However, the journey to Sela Pass is quite challenging, with winding roads, sharp turns, and changing weather conditions. Drivers should be cautious, especially during snowfall or fog, as visibility can drop quickly. There are very few shops or food stalls near the pass, so it’s wise to carry your own snacks and warm beverages. The temperature can drop suddenly, so wearing proper winter clothing is essential. Despite the tough road, the view from Sela Pass is worth every effort. It’s one of those rare places that makes you feel both peaceful and amazed at the same time. Overall, Sela Pass is a must-visit destination for anyone traveling to Tawang a stunning blend of natural beauty, serenity, and adventure that will stay with you forever.

Sela Pass, perched at an altitude of approximately 13,700 feet (4,170 meters), stands out as one of India’s most spectacular high-altitude mountain gateways, connecting the Tawang and West Kameng districts in Arunachal Pradesh. The journey to reach Sela Pass is both exhilarating and rewarding, with winding roads that are often sheathed in snow through winter and splashed with greenery during summer. The drive itself, though challenging due to sometimes rough road conditions and rapidly changing weather, is compensated by panoramic views of the majestic Eastern Himalayas and a sense of serene remoteness. The crown jewel of Sela Pass is the tranquil Sela Lake, referred to locally as Paradise Lake, which lies just beside the pass. In winter, the lake frequently freezes over, offering a breathtaking icy spectacle, while in other seasons, its pristine blue waters mirror the open Himalayan skies. The sight of rhododendrons blooming in spring only enhances its allure. The spiritual significance of the area is marked by the presence of over a hundred sacred lakes nearby, cherished by the region’s Buddhist communities. The pass is also steeped in local history and folklore, including the tale of Sela and Indian Army hero Jaswant Singh Rawat, whose bravery is commemorated at nearby Jaswant Garh. There’s a simple army café at the top where visitors can enjoy a hot drink while soaking in the views. For any traveler exploring Arunachal Pradesh, Sela Pass is an unmissable destination—a harmonious blend of stunning scenery, adventure, and cultural heritage.

This is the nature created by God, which does not bother to look at. The lake is so so beautiful. There are tea stalls near the lake. The Sela Pass gate is 150 meters away from the lake. There is an army camp also near the lake.

Sela Pass is one of those places that truly takes your breath away, both literally and figuratively. Located at around 13,700 feet, it connects Bomdila and Tawang and offers absolutely stunning views of snow-covered peaks and crystal-clear Sela Lake. The drive up can be a bit challenging, especially during the colder months, but the scenery makes every turn worth it. When I visited, it was quite busy since it was the holiday season, but once I stepped out and took in the cold mountain air, everything felt peaceful. The frozen lake, prayer flags fluttering in the wind, and the quiet stillness all created a sense of calm that’s hard to describe. If you’re traveling from Dirang or Tawang, try to start early to enjoy the sunrise views and avoid traffic. Also, be prepared for sudden weather changes, it can get really cold and foggy in no time. Overall, Sela Pass is not just a place to pass through, it’s a destination in itself, where nature, spirituality, and adventure come together beautifully.

A beautiful place to visit. It was freezing cold when we visited. So just keep your warmers handy.
