Bongaigaon, located in Western Assam, is one of the state’s key urban and industrial centers. The town retains cultural traces of the ancient Kamatapur Kingdom and serves as a base to explore nearby eco-tourism zones like Manas National Park and Kakoijana Reserve Forest — home to the endangered golden langur. Apart from its industrial presence through the Bongaigaon Refinery, the town also offers glimpses of Assam’s traditional life, festivals, and crafts.
