Why January here
The Dima Hasao hill town: lakes, ridgelines and the Jatinga road.
Haflong is Assam Tourism’s only hill station, the headquarters of the Dima Hasao hill district: a lake, ridge viewpoints, and hill-tribe cultures (Dimasa, Hmar, Zeme and more) in every direction.
Wildlife this month: Kaziranga and Manas are open and at their best: grass is short and sightings are easiest.
What to do
Haflong Lake
The town’s water-side heart.
Jatinga road
Nine kilometres to the famous bird valley.
Hill cultures
Dimasa, Hmar and Zeme villages across the district.
