Numaligarh is a small yet significant township located along NH 37 in Golaghat district. It gained prominence due to the Numaligarh Refinery Limited (NRL), often called the “pride of Assam.” Beyond its industrial significance, the town is surrounded by natural and archaeological treasures. The nearby Deopahar Archaeological Site showcases ancient temple ruins believed to date back to the Kamarupa Kingdom. The landscape around Numaligarh is scenic, with rolling tea gardens, forested hills, and the Dhansiri River meandering nearby. Its proximity to Kaziranga makes it a convenient stopover for travelers exploring Upper Assam.
