Fly into
Dibrugarh in January
Upper Assam’s tea city and the east gate.
Quick answer. Winter. Cool, dry and clear across the Brahmaputra valley, this is peak wildlife season. For Dibrugarh specifically, January is a comfortable month with the usual hill-state caveats.

Why January here
Tea estates, the Namphake Tai-Phake village and gateways to Arunachal and Nagaland.
Dibrugarh is Upper Assam’s hub: an airport and railhead wrapped in tea estates, with the Namphake Buddhist monastery village (Tai-Phake heritage) a short drive out and roads leading to Roing and Namdapha (Arunachal) and Mon country (Nagaland).
Wildlife this month: Kaziranga and Manas are open and at their best: grass is short and sightings are easiest.
What to do
