Why January here
Da Parbatia’s ancient doorframe, Agnigarh’s legends and the road to Bhalukpong.
Tezpur is the north-bank heritage town: the 6th-century Da Parbatia doorframe, the Agnigarh hill of Usha-Aniruddha legend, and the Brahmaputra at its shoulders. Practically, it is the last full-service town before the Arunachal border at Bhalukpong, about 52km away.
Wildlife this month: Kaziranga and Manas are open and at their best: grass is short and sightings are easiest.
What to do
Da Parbatia
A Gupta-era carved doorframe, among the oldest sculptures in Assam.
Agnigarh
The legend-hill above the river.
