Morigaon lies in Central Assam, offering a rich mix of nature and culture. The highlight is Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary, which boasts one of the highest densities of one-horned rhinoceroses in the world and is often dubbed a “mini Kaziranga.” The region also houses the ancient Deosal Temple, revered by locals, and several Tiwa tribal villages where age-old customs and traditional festivals still thrive. With its proximity to Guwahati and an authentic countryside atmosphere, Morigaon is a lesser-known yet rewarding destination for both wildlife lovers and cultural explorers.
