Sadiya, located at the easternmost tip of Assam, is one of the oldest inhabited regions in the state. Once the capital of the powerful Chutiya Kingdom, it played a crucial role in medieval Assam’s cultural and political history. The town lies near the confluence of the Lohit, Dibang, and Siang rivers, which together form the mighty Brahmaputra. Connected to the rest of Assam by the Bhupen Hazarika Setu (Dhola–Sadiya Bridge), it is also a symbolic link between Assam and Arunachal Pradesh. Rich in folklore, the area is associated with the legend of Princess Usha and Aniruddha. Sadiya’s serene landscape, river islands, and heritage remnants make it a hidden gem for history lovers and explorers.
