About Tinsukia District

Tinsukia District is located in eastern Assam, known for its tea gardens, oil refineries, and proximity to the Brahmaputra River. It is a gateway to northeastern India and an offbeat destination for those seeking authentic tea estate experiences, wildlife viewing, and rural Assamese culture away from mainstream tourist circuits.

💡Why Visit?

Visit for pristine tea gardens, the Assam State Zoo at nearby Guwahati, and the opportunity to explore rural Assamese villages and experience genuine hospitality in one of India's least-travelled districts.
