Located in remote northeastern India, Sonitpur, an administrative district in Assam, offers a multitude of attractions for visitors. Chief among them is the ancient city of Tezpur, regarded as the cultural heart of Assam.
In this particular part of Sonitpur, you will find whatever escape you seek---whether it is wildlife, natural beauty, or ancient ruins. Tezpur Is a city where the past is never far away, particularly in places such as Da Parbatia Temple, a tangible reminder of Tezpur past. Beauty abounds in the city as well. For a quiet escape into nature, Cole Park is one of Sonitpur loveliest spots. Tezpur itself is located on the north bank of the River Brahmaputra, and a sunrise or sunset over the mighty river is not to be missed.
Situated in the foothills of the Himalayas, Nameri National Park is a must-see location if you are drawn to wildlife and natural splendor. The park boasts an extensive variety of animal life, and if you prefer, you can explore it on one of the many elephants who make a home there. If riding an elephant is a bit too adventurous for you, the Bura-Chapori Wildlife Sanctuary, along the southern banks of the Brahmaputra, offers a small, but beautiful natural environment. Sonitpur is also known for its many tea gardens.
