Dibrugarh, located in upper Assam, is known as the Tea City of India. Situated on the banks of the Brahmaputra River, it's a major commercial hub and a gateway to Arunachal Pradesh.

Dibrugarh offers a unique blend of tea garden experiences and Assamese culture. While the city itself is not a major tourist destination, it serves as a convenient base for exploring the surrounding tea estates and nearby attractions. The infrastructure is still developing, so expect a more rustic experience.

Plan for at least two to three days to properly explore Dibrugarh and its surrounding areas. The best way to get around is by hiring a car or using auto-rickshaws. Consider booking accommodations and tours in advance, especially during peak season.
