Stage from
Tinsukia in January
The working town at the top-right of Assam.
Quick answer. Winter. Cool, dry and clear across the Brahmaputra valley, this is peak wildlife season. For Tinsukia specifically, January is inside the short good window, so lock stays early.

Why January here
The practical hub for Dibru-Saikhowa, Dehing Patkai and the eastern roads.
Tinsukia is Upper Assam’s commercial town and the practical staging point for Dibru-Saikhowa boat safaris, the Dehing Patkai belt and the roads to Arunachal’s east.
Wildlife this month: Kaziranga and Manas are open and at their best: grass is short and sightings are easiest.
What to do
Boat safari bookings
Operators run morning Dibru-Saikhowa trips from here.
