5 sights and experiences.
Tiwa hamlets tucked between bamboo and rice terraces. Do not miss Shikdamakha, which won the title of Assam’s cleanest village in 2016.
Two dozen or more huge stones stand upright on this hillside, some taller than two people. Nobody is quite sure who raised them.
Where the Amreng flows into the Kopili, a tongue of land points into the water. Stay at the riverside lodge and wake up to misty hills.
Walk in from Arting or Rupai village to reach this forest waterfall — a cool reward for a short trek.
Rolling hill views from Baithalangso, and open grassland at Khanduli that glows gold in winter.
October to March is the main season.
