Dress modestly, especially when visiting religious sites. Lightweight cotton clothing is suitable for most of the year. Carry a light jacket or shawl during winter evenings. Comfortable walking shoes are essential.
ATMs are available in Dhubri town, but cash is preferred for small vendors and auto-rickshaws. UPI (Unified Payments Interface) is widely accepted at larger shops. Currency exchange facilities are limited; exchange money in Guwahati. Tipping is not mandatory but appreciated for good service (rupees 50-100).
Drink only bottled water. Carry basic medications for fever, pain, and stomach issues. Consult your doctor about vaccinations for Hepatitis A and Typhoid before traveling. Dhubri Civil Hospital provides basic medical care. Avoid street food if you have a sensitive stomach.
Major Indian SIM cards (Airtel, Jio, Vodafone Idea) work in Dhubri, but network coverage can be spotty in remote areas. Wi-Fi is available in some hotels. Useful apps include Google Maps for navigation and local language translation apps. Assamese and Bengali are primary languages, but Hindi is understood, and some English speakers are present.
