Why January here
Forest hills, Karbi culture and trekking country between Guwahati and the Barak valley.
Karbi Anglong is the large hill block that separates the Brahmaputra and Barak valleys: Karbi cultural country with forest tracks, trekking hills and the town of Diphu as its practical base.
Wildlife this month: Kaziranga and Manas are open and at their best: grass is short and sightings are easiest.
What to do
Diphu
The district’s town base with a good local museum.
