Golaghat, one of Assam’s oldest towns, sits gracefully on the banks of the Dhansiri River. It is often referred to as the "Tea Town" of Upper Assam, surrounded by vast tea plantations that date back to the British era. Besides its scenic charm,
Golaghat serves as a gateway to Kaziranga National Park (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) and offers a glimpse into traditional Assamese life. The region has a strong cultural base with Namghars, temples, and crafts. It’s also famous for its local cuisine, weaving, and vibrant Bihu celebrations.
